Instructions

1

Place chicken thighs, broth, and thyme in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked. Remove chicken, shred, and set aside. Discard thyme stems.

2

Add carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the broth. Simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Stir in heavy cream.

3

Make the dumplings: whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter. Stir in milk until a shaggy dough forms.

Tip: Don't overwork the dough. Lumpy and shaggy = light and fluffy dumplings.

4

Return shredded chicken to the pot. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough onto the surface (about 12 dumplings). Cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.

5

Remove lid. The dumplings should be puffed and cooked through. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
