leeks; cook 5 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring to scrape up

browned chicken, broth, juice, dill, salt and pepper. Cover; bring to a
boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.

dumpling batter in 8 spoonfuls over remaining stew. Simmer over medium-low
heat, covered, about 16 minutes, or until dumplings are done. (Approximate
microwave time: De- ost 45 minutes. When defrosted, place in deep, 10-inch
