Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 medium, sliced carrots
- 2 stalks, sliced celery
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups, uncooked egg noodles
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons, divided salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons, melted butter
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Season chicken breasts with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pot and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened.
Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the chicken breasts to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
While the soup is cooking, prepare the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until a thick batter forms. Set aside.
Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the pot. Shred the chicken with two forks and return it to the pot.
Add the uncooked egg noodles to the soup and cook for 6-8 minutes until tender.
Using a spoon, drop small dollops of dumpling batter (about 1 tablespoon each) into the simmering soup. Cover and cook for 10 minutes without lifting the lid, allowing the dumplings to steam and cook through.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your Chicken Noodle Dumpling Soup!
