Equipment

  • 1 large stockpot or Dutch oven
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 chef's knife
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed about 450 grams
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth about 960 mL
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas about 150 grams
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour about 120 grams
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk about 120 mL
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the cubed chicken to the pot and cook until the chicken is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the carrots and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the thyme, rosemary, and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the frozen peas and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt for the dumplings. Stir in the milk and egg until a dough forms.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the simmering soup. Cover the pot and cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the dumplings to steam and rise.
  • Remove the pot from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth.
You can customize the soup by adding your favorite vegetables, such as green beans or corn.
This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and the dumplings may absorb some broth as they sit. Add a bit of water or broth when reheating if necessary.
