Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Carrot (chopped)
• 2 pieces Celery stalks (chopped)
• 1 piece Yellow onion (diced)
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 6 cups Chicken stock (gluten-free)
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for dumplings)
• 0.5 cup Almond milk (unsweetened, dairy-free)
• 1 piece Egg (large)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and grill marks form. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool, then shred into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In a large soup pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the chopped carrots, celery, and diced onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the gluten-free chicken stock and add the bay leaves, fresh thyme, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes.

Step 8

While the soup simmers, prepare the dumpling batter. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Step 9

In a separate small bowl, whisk together almond milk and the egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined to form a thick batter.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaves from the soup and stir in the shredded grilled chicken.

Step 11

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dumpling batter into the simmering soup. Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 10-12 minutes without removing the lid, allowing them to puff up.

Step 12

Once the dumplings are cooked through, stir in the chopped fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 13

Serve the soup hot and enjoy your comforting, gluten- and dairy-free meal!
