Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare ingredients: Dice the onion and chop the carrots and celery; set aside chicken breasts.

  3. 3. Cook chicken: Add chicken breasts to the pot with sautéed veggies. Pour in enough broth to cover everything (about 4 cups), bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  4. 4. Shred chicken: Remove cooked chicken from the pot; shred using forks and return to the pot along with seasoning.
  5. 5. Make dumpling batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, milk, and melted butter; mix until just combined.
  6. 6. Drop dumplings: Spoon batter into bubbling broth; cover pot tightly and steam dumplings for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.

Keywords: For added flavor, consider using bone-in chicken pieces for a richer broth. Feel free to customize by adding vegetables like peas or swapping in turkey for the chicken. To store leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
