Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt cold butter over medium heat in a large pot. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until soft. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Add the shredded chicken and pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, stirring gently. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in milk until a soft dough forms.
  4. Drop scoops of the dumpling dough onto the simmering broth, spacing them apart. Cover the pot and let dumplings cook undisturbed for 15-18 minutes.
  5. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
