Step 2
Warm 1 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium heat. Shake excess flour mixture from chicken (reserve leftover flour), add chicken to pot and cook, stirring, until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate. Warm remaining oil in pot. Add carrots, celery and onions; sauté for 6 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved flour; sauté for 2 minutes. Pour in broth; bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Return chicken to pot, stir in half-and-half; simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Make dumplings: Combine both flours, baking soda, salt, thyme and sage. Stir in buttermilk just until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Stir peas into chicken mixture. Drop in tablespoonfuls of dough, cover; simmer dumplings until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

I thought this was very good, but as a personal preference I would substitute out the pearl onions next time for regular onion and possibly add mushroom. I also used chicken breast and it came out perfectly cooked while still following directions as written.

I made a few adjustments, used leftover beans instead of peas. If not using low-sodium broth, I would recommend omitting the other salt. I also used chicken breasts instead. Next time I would cut the pepper in half.
