Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts halved
  • 2 ribs celery cut in half
  • 1/2 large onion in chunks
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • additional salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, add the chicken broth, halved chicken breasts, celery pieces, and onion chunks. Bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dumplings. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the milk until a dough forms.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into rectangular pieces, about 1 to 2 inches in size.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it. Discard the onion and celery.
  • Drop the dough pieces into the simmering broth. Stir occasionally and cook for 20-30 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through and the broth thickens.
  • Add the shredded chicken back into the pot, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!
