Pesto Chicken Stew with Dumplings
This pesto chicken stew with dumplings is a warming, flavour-packed one-pot dish that’s perfect for comforting meals. Tender chicken is gently simmered with smoky bacon, leeks, onions and celery in a rich white wine and chicken stock sauce, creating a hearty and satisfying base. Sun-dried tomatoes, peas and fragrant basil pesto bring a burst of colour and fresh, savoury flavour, while soft dumplings made with Parmesan bake on top until golden and fluffy, soaking up the delicious sauce beneath.
