Poultry Dumplings with Nantua Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb ground chicken or turkey
1/4 cup finely diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
24 dumpling wrappers
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup tarragon leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, egg, breadcrumbs, and milk until well combined.
Place a small spoonful of the mixture in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges to seal.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dumplings and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant.
Gradually whisk in the chicken stock and heavy cream until smooth. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the sauce is thick and creamy.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
To serve, spoon the Nantua sauce over the top of the cooked dumplings, garnish with tarragon leaves, and enjoy!
