Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 Tablespoons butter cut into small slices
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Add the chicken broth and water to a large stock pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Then add the chicken breasts and reduce the heat to medium. Boil uncovered until the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt together in a mixing bowl. Then add in the butter with a fork or a pastry blender until incorporated. Stir in the milk until a dough is formed.
- Flour out a work surface. Roll the dough out flat with a rolling pin. Slice with a pizza cutter or a knife into similar size squares.
- Remove the chicken from the pot (make sure it’s cooked through) and set aside.
- Drop the dumplings into the pot, one at a time, to keep the dumplings from sticking to each other. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the dumplings float and a toothpick inserted into the dumplings comes out clean.
- While the dumplings are cooking, shred the chicken and return it back to the pot.
- Season the chicken and dumplings with more salt and pepper if needed. Then serve warm and enjoy!
