Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Butter cut into small slices
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 6 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
- Add 6 cups chicken broth and 2 cups water to a large stock pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts and reduce the heat to medium. Boil uncovered until the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, whisk together 2 cups all purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl.
- Add 2 Tablespoons butter cut into small slices and combine with a fork or pastry blender until incorporated.
- Stir in 1 cup whole milk until a dough forms.
- Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough out flat with a rolling pin. Slice the dough into similar size squares using a pizza cutter or knife.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Drop the dumplings into the pot one at a time to prevent sticking. Cook for 15–20 minutes until the dumplings float and a toothpick inserted into the dumplings comes out clean.
- While the dumplings are cooking, shred the chicken and return it to the pot.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
