Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients

• •3 tablespoons butter
• •1 medium onion, diced
• •2 carrots, sliced
• •2 celery stalks, diced
• •6 cups chicken broth
• •2 cups cooked shredded chicken
• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• •0.5 teaspoon salt
• •0.5 cup milk

Directions

1. 1Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté onion, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes until softened.
2. 2Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil, then add shredded chicken and reduce heat to simmer.
3. 3In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt, then stir in milk until a soft dough forms.
4. 4Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough into the simmering broth and cover the pot.
5. 5Simmer for 15-20 minutes until dumplings are cooked through and float to the top, stirring occasionally.
6. 6Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot.

💡 Drop dumpling dough onto gently simmering stew, not a rolling boil; violent bubbling can break the dumplings before their centres set.
