Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Broth
  • 10 cups chicken stock Homemade or high-quality stock is recommended.
  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts Lean protein for flavor and texture.
For the Dumplings
  • 2 cups self-rising flour Key for fluffy dumplings.
  • 2 large eggs Provides richness and binding.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Adds flavor and moisture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 cup milk Ensures dumpling dough consistency.
For Seasoning
  • to taste parsley flakes For garnish and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, bring 10 cups of chicken stock to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts, shred them with two forks, and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, black pepper, eggs, melted butter, and milk until smooth.
Cooking
  1. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough into the simmering broth and cover. Let them cook for about 15-20 minutes, until fluffy and cooked through.
  2. Gently fold the shredded chicken back into the pot with the dumplings for the final few minutes of cooking.
  3. Adjust seasoning with parsley flakes and pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pot to ensure dumplings cook evenly. Let the soup simmer longer for deeper flavor.
