Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 medium Celery stalks
- 1 large Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional)
Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic. Dice the carrots, celery, and onion into small pieces.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the diced chicken to the pot and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Add salt and black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg and mix it with the milk.
Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients to form a shaggy dough. Do not overmix.
Using a spoon, drop small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) of the dough into the simmering broth to form dumplings.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 12-15 minutes without lifting the lid to ensure they puff up properly.
Check that the dumplings are cooked through and tender. Adjust the seasoning of the broth if needed.
Serve the chicken and dumplings hot, garnished with parsley (optional).
