Instructions

Dice the onion, carrots, celery, and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot over medium heat, sauté onions in olive oil until translucent (3-4 minutes). Add carrots and celery; cook until softened.
Stir in diced chicken with salt and pepper; cook until no longer pink (about 5 minutes).
Pour in chicken broth; bring to a simmer and cover partially for about 15 minutes.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the simmering soup. Cover tightly and cook for about 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
Serve hot with fresh herbs as garnish.

Notes

Use homemade broth for enhanced flavor.
Avoid overmixing the dumpling batter to ensure they stay light and fluffy.
For added variety, consider incorporating vegetables like peas or corn.
