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.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Dumplings (15 minutes): In a blender or food processor, combine 3 cups cooked chicken, eggs, 3/4 cup chicken broth, 1 cup flour, parsley, 2 teaspoons salt, pepper, and tarragon. Process until smooth. The mixture should be thick but pourable.

Simmer, uncovered, for 5 to 8 minutes, until the dumplings are well-formed and slightly browned. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve the dumpling cooking liquid; it's packed with flavor.
03 Step

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in 1/2 cup flour until fully incorporated, creating a roux. Gradually pour in 2 quarts chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and carrots. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
