Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
• 2 cups carrots, sliced
• 1 cup celery, sliced
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 Tbsp butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

1. Season chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. In a large pot, brown the chicken pieces over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced carrots, celery, and chopped onion to the pot, stirring to mix with the chicken. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften.
3. Pour in enough water to just cover the chicken and vegetables. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook until the chicken is fully tender.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Work the butter into the flour mixture using your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the milk, stirring to form a thick dough.
5. With the broth simmering, drop spoonfuls of the dough into the pot. Cover and let the dumplings cook for about 10 minutes or until they are firm and puffed up.
