Hearty Chicken and Dumplings

 


Step 3: Make the Dumpling Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in milk gradually until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.


Step 4: Add Dumplings to the Broth

Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dumpling dough onto the simmering broth.
Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for 10–15 minutes without lifting the lid. They should puff up and become tender while absorbing the flavors of the broth.


Step 5: Simmer and Finish

Once the dumplings are cooked through, give the pot a gentle stir to combine everything. Adjust seasoning if needed. The broth should be rich and slightly thickened from the dumplings’ starch.


Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Ladle the chicken, vegetables, and dumplings into bowls and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Every bite offers tender chicken, soft, fluffy dumplings, and a savory broth that warms the soul — the ultimate comfort meal.
