  • Author: majestyrecipes

Description

A timeless dish that evokes warmth and nostalgia, bringing together tender chicken, fluffy dumplings, and rich broth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Heat the chicken broth in a large pot until it simmers.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into strips.
  5. Gently drop the dough strips into the simmering broth. They will float to the surface when cooked, which should take about 10-12 minutes.
  6. Once the dumplings are floating, stir in the shredded chicken and allow it to heat through.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy the heartiness of this classic!

Notes

Don’t overwork the dumpling dough for best results. Add vegetables or spices for customization.
