Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat and sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add onions, carrots, and celery; sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the chicken broth while scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer and add back the seared chicken. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes until fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces, and return to the pot.
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, milk, salt, and melted butter until just combined to make the dumpling batter.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough into the simmering broth without lifting the lid; cook for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
- Serve hot garnished with parsley if desired.
