Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 ribs of celery
- 1/2 medium onion (do not dice or slice)
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, each breast cut in half
- 3 cups gluten-free flour (Use any 1:1 gluten free flour of your choice)
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup + 4 tbsp milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot or dutch oven, add broth, celery, onion, and chicken breasts. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the chicken breast is cooked through (temp of 165 F). While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dumplings.
PREPARE THE DUMPLINGS
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk just until combined. You can use a pastry cutter, a fork or the whisk.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface – to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips or squares about 1 to 2 inches in size.
SHRED THE CHICKEN
- Once the chicken is cooked through remove it from the broth and place it in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or Kitchenaid Mixer to shred. (Follow these instructions).
- Remove the onion chunk and celery pieces from the broth and discard.
COOK THE DUMPLINGS
- Add the dumplings to the simmering broth and simmer for about 15-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the dumplings to cook and the broth to thicken to a gravy-like consistency. You may need to add additional chicken broth if the dumplings absorb too much.
- Return shredded chicken to the pot with 10 minutes left to simmer.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
