Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Chicken and Broth

In a large pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender. Add the chicken and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Make the Dumplings

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined. Do not overmix.

Combine and Simmer

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and add the heavy cream. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into the simmering broth. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.

Prepare Mixed Grilled Veggies

While the dumplings are cooking, heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and grill until tender and slightly charred. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls and serve with the grilled veggies on the side.
