Chicken and Dumplings

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.

2. 2

   Chop the carrot, celery, and onion into bite-sized pieces and add them to the simmering broth. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the milk to form a soft dough.

4. 4

   Drop tablespoon-sized pieces of the dumpling dough into the simmering broth. Cover and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked through.

5. 5

   Add the cooked chicken to the pot and heat through. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Serve hot, ensuring each serving includes chicken, vegetables, and dumplings.
