Feast your eyes on this scrumptious bowl of goodness:
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups of chicken broth
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn – you pick!)
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of butter, melted
- 1 cup of milk (for the dumpling dough)
Instructions to Follow
- First things first, let’s cook the chicken! In a pot, combine the chicken breasts and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through (about 20 minutes).
- Once your chicken is cooked and cozy, pull it out and shred it. You want it to be as fancy as possible, so don’t skimp on the shredding!
- In the same pot with the remaining chicken broth, add your mixed veggies, onion powder, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Let everything simmer together for about 10 minutes, making sure those flavors are mingling nicely.
- While the veggies are simmering, let’s whip up those dumplings! In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and milk until you have a dough-like consistency. This dough should stick together, but be nice and fluffy, just like your favorite pillow!
- Once the veggies are done, reduce the heat to low and drop spoonfuls of your dumpling dough into the simmering broth. Make sure to leave some space between them; they’ll puff up like marshmallows in hot cocoa!
- Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes. Resist the urge to lift the lid – we want those dumplings to be as fluffy as clouds, and opening the lid will let out all the magic.
- After 15 minutes, uncover and gently stir in the shredded chicken and milk. Let it simmer another 5 minutes to make everything nice and creamy.
- Now, serve yourself a generous bowl, grab a spoon, and dig in!
There you have it – a cozy bowl of Chicken and Dumplings that’s sooooo easy to make, even your cat could do it (but we don’t recommend it). Enjoy!
