Method
Preparation
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine chicken broth, celery, onion, and chicken breasts. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer partially covered for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the dumpling dough. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently stir in the milk until the dough comes together into a shaggy ball.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about ¼-inch thick. Slice the dough into strips or squares (approximately 1–2 inches wide).
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the broth and set aside on a cutting board. Discard celery pieces and onion from the broth.
Cooking
- Carefully drop the dough strips into the simmering broth, stirring gently.
- Simmer dumplings for approximately 20–30 minutes, occasionally stirring, until cooked through and the broth thickens to a gravy-like consistency.
- As dumplings cook, shred or chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Return chicken to the pot, mixing gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For a quicker meal, consider using rotisserie chicken. Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor. To make it vegan, swap chicken for chickpeas and use vegetable broth.
