Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the pot, season with salt and black pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook 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, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the milk and remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter until just combined.

  4. 4

    Add Dumplings

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot, shred it, and return it to the pot. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter over the simmering broth. Cover the pot and cook for an additional 15 minutes, without lifting the lid.

  5. 5

    Finishing Touches

    Stir in the frozen peas and chopped parsley. Cook for another 5 minutes until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through. Serve hot.
