This recipe will show you how simple it is to make delicious hearty chicken stew with gluten-free buttermilk dumplings and still keeping it nutritious.

This chicken stew is warming, comforting perfect for a chili day. In the traditional version, the stew is thickened with flour, and the dumplings tend to be heavy and are made with fat.

The deliciousness smouldering in your mouth is from carefully chosen vegetables cooked with herbs in a delicious sauce. The gluten-free dumplings are made with buttermilk and green onions, which are equally unforgettable.
