Recipe
Heat broth: Pour chicken broth into a large pot and bring to a gentle simmer. Add shredded chicken and thyme.
Make dumplings: In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined.
Drop dumplings: Using a spoon, drop dumpling mixture into the simmering broth. Don't stir! Cover and cook 12 minutes.
Season and serve: Add black pepper and salt to taste. Serve immediately.
The Secret Ingredient
The real game-changer is using quality organic broth instead of bouillon cubes. It creates that rich, restaurant-quality flavor that makes this taste like it took hours to make.
Pro tip: Save the leftover broth for making rice or soup bases. It keeps in the fridge for up to a week.
