Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
- 2 medium Carrots (sliced)
- 2 stalks Celery (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Self-rising flour
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
Sauté the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery in the melted butter for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the chicken breast to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and let the chicken cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dumplings by combining self-rising flour and milk in a mixing bowl. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables in the pot and stir to coat. This will help thicken the broth slightly.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough directly into the simmering broth. Make sure to space them slightly apart.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 10-12 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to ensure the dumplings steam properly.
Once the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through, garnish the dish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
