Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken and Broth

    In a large pot, add the chicken thighs, diced carrots, celery, onion, garlic, chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Chicken

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

  4. 4

    Make the Dumplings

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, milk, and melted butter. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Cook the Dumplings

    Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the simmering broth. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the dumplings are cooked, remove the pot from the heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
