Steps

1Dice chicken breast, carrots, celery, and onion.
2In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons butter, then sauté chicken, carrots, celery, and onion until chicken is lightly browned and vegetables are softened.
3Pour in chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
4Meanwhile, for the dumplings, combine all-purpose wheat flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl.
5Cut in remaining 2 tablespoons cold butter until crumbly, then gradually stir in whole milk until a soft dough forms.
6Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough into the simmering soup, cover the pot tightly, and cook for 15-20 minutes without lifting the lid, until dumplings are puffed and cooked through.
7Stir in fresh parsley and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
