Instructions
- Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat for about 1 minute. Add the sliced celery, diced carrots, and diced onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts to the pot and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pour in 8 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily with a fork. Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the pot or remove to a cutting board to shred, then return it to the pot.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually add 1 cup buttermilk, stirring until well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter directly into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and let simmer for 20 minutes, until the dumplings are fluffy and steamed.
- Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls and serve hot.
