Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken (cut into pieces) Use your preferred chicken parts
  • 1 cup carrots (sliced)
  • 1 cup celery (sliced)
  • 1 onion (chopped) A medium-sized onion works well
  • 4 cups chicken broth Use low-sodium if preferred
  • 1 cup milk
Dumpling Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder For fluffiness
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk (for dumplings)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare your ingredients: Start by chopping the chicken, carrots, celery, and onion.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the chicken pieces, chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix together until just combined.
  3. Once your chicken and broth are done simmering, spoon small dollops of the dumpling mix into the pot. Cover and let them cook for about 15 minutes, until they are fluffy and cooked through.
  4. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle generous portions of chicken and dumplings into bowls, and enjoy!
