Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skinless)
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 2 medium (diced) Carrot
• 2 medium (chopped) Celery stalks
• 1 large (diced) Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for roux)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour (for dumplings)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for dumplings)
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear them on both sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Return the chicken to the pot. Add the chicken broth, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dumpling batter. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the milk, mixing until the batter is just combined (avoid overmixing). Set aside.

Step 6

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred the meat with two forks, discarding the bones. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the butter and flour together to form a paste (roux). Stir this into the pot to thicken the broth slightly. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.

Step 8

Using a spoon, drop dollops of the dumpling batter (about 1 tablespoon each) directly onto the simmering broth. Cover the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes without lifting the lid, allowing the dumplings to steam and become fluffy.

Step 9

Once the dumplings are cooked through, remove the pot from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
