1. Place chicken in a medium pot, season with salt and pepper and cover with 32 ounces of chicken broth. Simmer until internal temperature is 165 degrees and chicken is fork tender. This will take about 10-20 minutes depending on the size of your thighs/breasts. If you are using bone-in chicken it will take a little longer. Be careful not to overcook so that the chicken doesn’t become rubbery. Once it’s finished cooking, remove from cooking liquid and place in a bowl to cool and lock in juices before shredding. Save your cooking liquid!
2. Return cooking liquid back to a simmer and gently place dumplings into the chicken stock one at a time. You’ll use about half of a 12-ounce package. Gently stir and add in vegetables. If the liquid cooked down quite a bit while chicken was simmering, you may want to add a cup or two of water to the pot if the veggies and dumplings seem crowded.
3. Cover and simmer for about 35 minutes, stirring gently occasionally.
4. Once dumplings and veggies are soft and cooked through, stir in shredded chicken.

1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Drizzle a little olive oil on the 2-3 chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 45 minutes.
2. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks. Or, you can put it into a stand mixer and have it do the work for you. Pour 2 quarts of chicken stock or broth into a large pot and start warming it up on the stovetop while you make the dumplings. In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Then add in cold cubed butter.
3. You can combine it all using a fork or a pastry cutter or your fingers. Just smoosh the butter between your fingers while you gradually mix it in with the flour mixture.
4. Now pour in the milk. You want to measure out a little less than a cup. Mix it all together. Dust your counter with a generous amount of flour. Place your dumpling dough on the counter and dust it with more flour. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/4" thickness. Be sure to add flour as necessary to keep it from sticking underneath or to your rolling pin.
