Directions

Step 1

Make the Broth: In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine chicken, broth, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Step 2

Make the Dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 3

Cook the Dumplings: Drop by spoonfuls onto the simmering chicken broth. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.

Step 4

Serve: Serve hot.

Tips & Variations

Use rotisserie chicken: For a quicker meal, use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
Add vegetables: Add other vegetables such as peas, corn, or green beans to the broth.
Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the broth for some heat.
Make ahead: The broth can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

Important Notes

Gluten-Free Flour: Use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that contains xanthan gum.
Adjustments: You may need to adjust the amount of milk in the dumpling batter depending on the specific flour blend you use.
