Ingredients

• Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs - 400 grams
• Chicken broth - 500 milliliters
• Carrot - 1 medium, diced
• Celery - 1 stalk, diced
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• All-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Dried thyme - 1/2 teaspoon
• Milk - 100 milliliters
• Butter - 30 grams
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, and sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the pot and season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
3. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the milk until a thick dough forms.
5. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough into the simmering broth. Cover the pot and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
