Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

  3. 3

    Make the Dumpling Dough

    In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Gradually stir in milk until a soft dough forms.

  4. 4

    Create Dumplings

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot, shred it, and return it to the pot. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the broth.

  5. 5

    Cook the Dumplings

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with your choice of two sides.
