Ingredients

• ⅓ cup milk
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 carrots, chopped
• ½ (10 ounce) package frozen corn
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• ½ red onion, finely chopped

• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons clarified butter
• 1 cup baking mix (such as Bisquick®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken thighs in the hot butter until no longer pink in the centers, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Remove chicken and let cool, about 5 minutes. Shred or cut into small pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Place bacon in a medium skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the skillet. Let bacon cool slightly, about 5 minutes; crumble and set aside.

Step 3

Scrape chicken drippings from the skillet into a stockpot or Dutch oven. Cook potatoes, carrots, celery, red onion, and garlic in the pot over medium heat until onion is soft and transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, reserved bacon grease, broth, milk, mushroom soup, corn, paprika, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and let stew simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Mix baking mix and milk for dumplings together to form a sticky dough. Drop by spoonfuls into stew. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cover and continue to cook until dumplings are set, about 10 minutes more. Serve stew with a garnish of crumbled bacon.
