Equipment

  • 1 large pot or Dutch oven
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth Ensure it's gluten-free.
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour Ensure it's certified gluten-free.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup milk Dairy or non-dairy.
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the shredded chicken, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • While the broth is simmering, prepare the dumplings. In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Once the broth has simmered, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture onto the surface of the simmering broth. Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for about 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
  • Check that the dumplings are cooked through by inserting a toothpick into the center of one. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to add any additional vegetables you like, such as peas or corn.
