Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken (cut into pieces) Use Halal-friendly chicken if preferred.
  • 4 cups chicken broth Vegetarian or vegan broth can be used for substitutions.
  • 1 cup carrots (sliced)
  • 1 cup celery (sliced)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 2 cups biscuits (pre-made or homemade)
Seasonings
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until they are no longer pink on the outside, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, around 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, followed by garlic powder and thyme. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuits into the bubbling broth. Cover the pot and let them steam for about 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked through and fluffy.
  6. Once the dumplings are done, taste the broth for seasoning. Add more salt and pepper if desired.
  7. Dish out the chicken, dumplings, and broth into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if you like.
  8. Enjoy every warm and savory bite!

Notes

You can substitute chicken with chickpeas or tofu for a vegetarian version. Avoid skipping the sautéing step for better flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze portions for up to a month.
