Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in chicken thighs
• 8 cups Chicken broth
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 medium Celery stalks
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, place the chicken thighs and cover with the chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chopped carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Step 3

While the chicken cooks, prepare the dumpling dough. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Step 4

Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Slowly stir in the milk, mixing just enough to bring the dough together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips, then cut the strips into 3-inch lengths. Set aside.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside on a cutting board to cool slightly. Discard the bay leaves.

Step 8

Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 9

Raise the heat to medium and bring the broth back to a gentle boil. Drop the cut dumplings into the pot one at a time, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Cover the pot and simmer the dumplings for about 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender.

Step 11

Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Step 12

Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
