Instructions

Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Chop carrots, celery, onion, and garlic finely.
In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent (about 3 minutes).
Stir in diced chicken with carrots and celery; cook until chicken is white on all sides (5-7 minutes).
Pour in the chicken broth while scraping the bottom of the pot. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley; bring to a gentle boil.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough into the bubbling broth; cover tightly and reduce heat to low.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes without lifting the lid until dumplings are fluffy.
