How to Make Low Calorie Yet Delicious Chicken And Baby Dumplings

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the chicken pieces over medium-high heat. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Add the onion and carrots to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add celery and garlic, cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in chicken broth, low-sodium soy sauce, and seasonings (salt, pepper, thyme). Bring to a simmer.
  4. Return the chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the milk until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture onto the simmering chicken and broth. Cover the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
  8. Serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
