Description
A comforting and hearty dish featuring tender chicken and fluffy dumplings in a savory broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for dumplings)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (for dumplings)
- 1/2 cup milk (for dumplings)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, chicken broth, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 cup milk until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the pot, stirring constantly until the broth thickens slightly.
- In another bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in 1/2 cup milk until a soft dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering chicken mixture. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Once the dumplings are cooked through, serve the chicken and dumplings hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
- You can customize the dumplings by adding herbs like rosemary or chives for extra flavor.
