Ingredients
Scale
2 cups Chicken (boneless, skinless, diced)
1 cup Carrots (sliced)
1 cup Celery (diced)
1 large Onion (chopped)
3 cloves Garlic (minced)
4 cups Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Flour (for thickening)
1 cup Milk or Cream
2 cups Dumpling Mix
2 tablespoons Herbs (like thyme, parsley, or rosemary)
Instructions
Sauté the veggies: Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook them for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Add the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Introduce the chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
Pour in the broth: Once the chicken is browned, pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Add the milk: Stir in the milk (or cream) and reduce heat to simmer.
Prepare the dumpling mix: In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and your chosen herbs.
Combine the mixtures: Gently fold in the milk until you have a sticky dough.
Dollop the dumplings: Use a spoon to dollop the dumpling mixture over the chicken mixture in the pot.
Cover and cook: Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings steam for 15-20 minutes without lifting the lid.
Finish with fresh herbs: Once the dumplings are cooked through, stir in your fresh herbs.
