STEW
DUMPLINGS
1. Make Stew: Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides in Dutch oven over medium-high heat, 8 minutes. Transfer to plate. Add mushrooms and onion to Dutch oven; cover and cook until tender, 5 minutes.
Uncover; cook 5 to 7 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Stir in broth, milk, carrots, thyme and chicken. Cover, bring to a simmer and cook 10 to 12 minutes more until carrots are tender.
2. Make Dumplings: Meanwhile, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just moistened; stir in remaining ingredients just until blended.
3. Stir cornstarch into wine in small cup; stir into stew with zucchini.
Drop dumplings in rounded tablespoons on top. Cover and simmer 16 to 18 minutes until dumplings are cooked through.
*To defat chicken broth: Freeze broth 30 minutes until fat solidifies on surface. Remove fat with slotted spoon.
