To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the stew:

- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano

- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

For the dumplings:

- 1 cup of all-purpose flour

To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the chicken to the pot and bring the stew to a simmer. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
While the stew is cooking, make the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter and stir until a dough forms.
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the top of the stew. Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
