Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken (bone-in, skin-on)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups carrots (sliced)
- 1 cup celery (sliced)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- 1 cup milk
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chicken to the pot and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Using the same pot, toss in the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pot, pouring in the chicken broth along with the thyme and rosemary. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
- While that simmers, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the melted butter and milk to form a soft dough.
- Carefully drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough over the bubbling chicken mixture. Cover the pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot!
Notes
For extra flavor, use homemade chicken stock. Don’t skip browning the chicken for added depth in flavor.
