Ingredients
  

For the Dumplings
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour Can substitute with a different gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk Can use a dairy-free alternative.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
For the Chicken and Broth
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded Prepare by boiling, baking, or grilling.
  • 4 cups gluten-free chicken broth
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cooking your chicken breast. You can boil, bake, or grill it until fully cooked. Once done, shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large pot, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, diced carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and the onions are translucent.
  3. Pour in the 4 cups of gluten-free chicken broth and add the shredded chicken. Stir in the garlic powder and black pepper, and let the mixture simmer on low heat.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk until you achieve a smooth batter consistency.
  5. Once the broth is simmering, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter directly into the broth. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when they puff up and become fluffy.
  6. Adjust seasoning to your liking. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs before serving. Ladle into bowls and enjoy your comforting dish!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the dumplings separately from the broth.
