Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large soup pot, arrange the chicken breasts and add water until fully submerged. Season generously with salt, pepper, and dried sage. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside (approximately 30 minutes). Remove the chicken to a bowl and let cool slightly. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks.

02

Step

While the chicken is cooling, return the chicken broth in the pot to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the chopped celery, onion powder, and garlic powder. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the celery is tender, approximately 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

03

Step

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined. Gradually stir in the heavy cream until a soft dough forms. Lightly flour a clean work surface with the remaining 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently roll it to about 1/4-inch thickness. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into approximately 1 1/2-inch squares. Lightly toss the dumpling squares in the flour on the work surface to prevent sticking.

04

Step

Gently drop the dumplings, a few at a time, into the simmering broth. Stir frequently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Allow the dumplings to simmer until they puff up and the broth thickens to a luscious consistency, approximately 30 minutes. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and fresh parsley. Bring the mixture back to a gentle boil, then remove from heat and serve hot in bowls, ladling generous portions of chicken, dumplings, and broth.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the pot. This will add a rich, caramelized note to the dish.
Feel free to adjust the amount of heavy cream in the dumpling dough to achieve the desired consistency. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
If you don't have fresh parsley on hand, dried parsley can be used as a substitute. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried parsley for every tablespoon of fresh.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    I substituted almond milk for the heavy cream, and it turned out great!

  • Carley Wisoky

    The dumplings were a bit too thick for my taste. I'll roll them out thinner next time.

  • Daphney Crist

    I added carrots and peas, and it was even better!
