Ingredients

  • 2 medium chicken breasts
  • 8-10 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbs butter softened
  • 3/4-1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In large stockpot add your chicken breasts and chicken broth and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile in a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, salt and baking powder until combined.
  • Cut in your butter until incorporated and then stir in your milk until it forms a dough.
  • On a WELL floured surface turn your dough out and roll it out to about 1/4" thickness and then using a knife or a pizza cutter cut into 1 1/2"-2" squares.
  • Once chicken is cooked remove from broth and shred and set aside.
  • Add your dumplings to the broth and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until they are "cooked" and they don't have a doughy flavor.
  • Add your chicken back into your broth and dumpling mixture and season with salt and pepper to your liking and heat until chicken is warmed through.
