Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and add thyme and rosemary. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the browned chicken to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt for the dumplings.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together milk and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the simmering chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a bay leaf while the soup simmers.
- If you prefer, you can use chicken breast instead of thighs, but cook time may vary.
- Ensure the lid is on tightly while the dumplings cook to allow them to steam and become fluffy.
