Chicken and Broth

Dumplings

Method

Preparing the Chicken and Broth

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Chicken

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the chicken thighs to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot.

Making the Dumplings

  1. 5

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

  2. 6

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix together the milk and melted butter. Add the chopped parsley to the wet mixture.

  3. 7

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

  4. 8

    Drop Dumplings

    Once the broth is simmering, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the broth. Do not overcrowd; leave some space between each dumpling.

  5. 9

    Cook Dumplings

    Cover the pot and let the dumplings steam in the broth for about 15 minutes, or until they are fluffy and cooked through.

Final Assembly

  1. 10

    Serve

    Once the dumplings are cooked, stir them gently into the broth and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Chicken and Dumplings!
