Ingredients

1.5 lb (680 g) chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into chunks
2 tbsp butter or oil
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
4 cup chicken broth
1 cup water
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt (for dumplings)
0.75 cup milk

Steps

Heat butter or oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken and brown lightly, about 5 minutes.
Add onion, carrots, and celery; cook 4–5 minutes until softened.
Pour in chicken broth and water. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and dumpling salt. Stir in milk until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dumpling batter over simmering broth — do not stir once they go in.
Cover the pot and simmer 12–15 minutes until dumplings are puffed and cooked through.
Serve hot with chicken and vegetables in each bowl.
