Instructions

  1. 1 Cut margarine into flour in a medium bowl until it resembles coarse meal. Mix in just enough club soda to form a ball. Refrigerate dough for 3 hours.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Assemble 4 oven-safe onion soup bowls.
  3. 3 Combine mixed vegetables, water, and leftover chicken in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Add cornstarch and chicken bouillon; cook and stir until mixture has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
  4. 4 Remove dough from the refrigerator and divide into 5 balls. Roll 4 of the balls on a lightly floured surface into circles that are large enough to cover the bottom and sides of the soup bowls. Roll out the last ball of dough. Cut out 4 circles, each slightly larger than the size of each bowl opening.
  5. 5 Press bottom crusts into each soup bowl and fill with about 1 1/2 cups filling on top. Top with smaller dough circles and press dough together to seal.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 Cut chicken breasts, horizontally, through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open breasts like a book; place between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound butterflied breasts with the smooth side of a meat mallet until thin. Slice breasts into half lengthwise.
  2. 2 Fill a large bowl with some ice water. Place a shallow bowl, for the batter, inside the large bowl to keep the batter cold while cooking the chicken.
  3. 3 Place beaten egg into a large bowl. Sift flour and cornstarch into beaten egg; add lemon juice, paprika, baking soda, and salt. Stir in club soda until incorporated; a few lumps in the batter will create an airy texture, so be careful not to overmix.
  4. 4 Transfer batter to the shallow bowl set on top of ice water.
  5. 5 Heat 1 inch vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until glossy and reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. 6 Fully coat chicken pieces in batter, carefully lowering into the hot oil, in 2 to 3 batches.
  7. 7 Fry until golden brown and crispy and no longer pink in the centers, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving tray. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.

Instructions

  1. 1 Make the dumplings: Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  2. 2 Combine flour, baking powder, parsley, and salt in a bowl. Add milk mixture and club soda; stir until dough forms a ball, making sure not to overmix. Cover dough and let stand for 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, make the chicken mixture: Bring chicken stock and condensed soup to a simmer in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken, potatoes, onion, celery, carrot, bell pepper, peas, lemon slices, and thyme. Poach until chicken is no longer pink in the center and vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate to cool. Transfer vegetables to a bowl, leaving stock in the pan. Discard thyme and lemon.
  4. 4 While the chicken is cooling, boil remaining stock over medium-high heat until reduced by one-third, 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, pour cream into a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced by about half, 7 to 10 minutes. Whisk into reduced stock. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  6. 6 Chop cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  7. 7 Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir into stock mixture and add chicken and cooked vegetables.
  8. 8 Bring soup to a simmer over medium heat, adding more stock if necessary. Drop in teaspoonfuls of dumpling dough. Cover and let simmer for 7 to 8 minutes. Serve hot and garnish with parsley and green onion.
