Chicken and Broth

Dumplings

Method

Preparing the Chicken and Broth

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, place the whole chicken and cover it with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables and Seasoning

    Once boiling, add salt, black pepper, bay leaves, chopped carrots, chopped celery, and chopped onion to the pot.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

  4. 4

    Remove Chicken

    Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool. Strain the broth and return it to the pot.

  5. 5

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces, discarding the bones and skin.

  6. 6

    Return Chicken to Broth

    Add the shredded chicken back into the strained broth and keep it warm on low heat.

Making the Dumplings

  1. 7

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

  2. 8

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 9

    Combine Mixtures

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

  4. 10

    Drop Dumplings into Broth

    Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering broth. Do not overcrowd; leave space between each dumpling.

  5. 11

    Cook Dumplings

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

Serving

  1. 12

    Serve Hot

    Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls, ensuring each serving has a good amount of broth. Enjoy your hearty meal!
