For extra flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
The dumpling batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme before serving.
If you don't have tarragon, you can substitute with other herbs like thyme or rosemary.
