Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup milk for dumplings

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery, and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  2. Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  3. Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt for the dumplings. Add the melted butter and 1/2 cup of milk, stirring until just combined.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture onto the simmering chicken mixture. Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
  6. After 15 minutes, check the dumplings for doneness; they should be fluffy and cooked through. Serve hot.
