Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams skinless boneless chicken breast
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup low fat milk
- 1 large carrot
- 2 celery stalk
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 egg white
Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large pot, pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Peel and thinly slice the carrot. Chop the celery stalks and onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Add the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic to the simmering broth and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the diced chicken, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken mixture is cooking, prepare the dumplings. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Add low fat milk and egg white to the flour mixture. Stir until it forms a soft dough.
Gently drop tablespoons of the dough into the simmering chicken mixture. Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for about 10 minutes or until they are fluffy and cooked through.
Once the dumplings are done, stir in the chopped parsley for freshness.
Serve the chicken dumplings hot, garnished with more parsley if desired.
