Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the pot and pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  3. 3

    Make the Dumpling Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir in milk until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Add Dumplings

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the surface of the broth.

  5. 5

    Cook the Dumplings

    Cover the pot and let the dumplings steam over low heat for about 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
