Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breast
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Dice chicken breast into 1-inch pieces; set aside.
  2. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat, then add diced chicken and cook until lightly browned.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer.
Dumpling Dough
  1. While the broth simmers, combine flour and milk in a bowl to form a soft dough.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of dough directly into the simmering broth.
Cooking
  1. Cover the pot and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
  2. Stir gently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Serving
  1. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add chopped vegetables like carrots and celery to the broth with the chicken. Ensure dumplings are fully cooked to avoid a raw dough taste.
