Ingredients

Scale

  3. In the same pot, sauté onions, carrots, and celery until softened.
  4. Add the shredded chicken back into the pot along with salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder.
  5. In a bowl, mix flour, milk, and melted butter to form a dough for the dumplings.

  7. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
