  • Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Add the mixed vegetables and shredded chicken if using.

  • Pour in the chicken broth and cream, then season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Let the mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes.

  • In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

  • Stir in milk and melted butter until a soft dumpling dough forms.

  • Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough evenly over the simmering mixture.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the dumpling dough to keep the dumplings light and fluffy.Rotisserie chicken works great and saves time.You can easily make the recipe vegetarian by using vegetable broth and skipping the chicken.For extra flavor, add shredded cheddar or parmesan to the dumpling dough.This dish reheats well and is perfect for meal prep.
