Description
A heartwarming classic dish featuring tender chicken in a rich broth, paired with fluffy dumplings that melt in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (or 3-4 cups cooked shredded chicken)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large pot, add the whole chicken and cover it with water. Simmer until fully cooked (about 1 hour). Remove the chicken, shred it, and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté onions, carrots, and celery until tender. Pour in the chicken broth and return the shredded chicken to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and melted butter until combined.
- Spoon the dumpling mixture over the simmering broth, covering the chicken. Cook uncovered for about 15–20 minutes, until fluffy and cooked through.
