Begin by preparing the chicken: season the chicken breasts with a little salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, searing each side until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes per side. Remove from pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add remaining olive oil. SautΓ© the chopped onion, minced garlic, celery, and carrots until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, add the bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
Meanwhile, make the keto dumplings: Combine coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese and butter together in the microwave for about 60-90 seconds until fully melted.
Add the eggs to the melted cheese and mix thoroughly. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Shape the dough into small dumplings using your hands or a spoon.
Return the chicken breasts to the pot, reduce to low heat, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the chicken, shred it, and set aside.
Add the dumplings to the simmering soup. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until they are firm and cooked through.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stirring gently to combine.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste, then serve the hot soup in bowls, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
