Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine chicken thighs with chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to simmer for about 20 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.
- Add diced carrots and celery to the pot and simmer for about 5 minutes until tender. Return shredded chicken to the pot along with seasonings like thyme or parsley. Allow to simmer for another 5 minutes.
- For the dumplings, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir in milk until just combined; the batter should be thick but pourable.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough into the simmering broth. Cover and cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes until dumplings are fluffy and cooked through. Serve warm.
