Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 6 cups Chicken broth (low sodium)
• 2 medium Carrots (peeled and diced)
• 2 stalks Celery stalks (diced)
• 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 2

Pour the chicken broth and water into the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add them to the boiling broth. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dumpling mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, the egg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until well incorporated. Set aside.

Step 5

Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the soup and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 6

In another bowl, prepare the dumpling dough. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Slowly mix in the milk until a thick dough forms.

Step 7

Using a spoon or your hands, form small balls from the ground chicken mixture (about 1 inch in diameter) and drop them gently into the simmering soup.

Step 8

Using another spoon, drop small spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the soup as well. Cover the pot and allow the soup to simmer gently for 10-12 minutes or until both the chicken dumplings and dough dumplings are cooked through.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with the remaining chopped parsley.
