- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions:
- Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth and water to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and cook until fully cooked, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the chicken, shred it, and set it aside.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

- Add Chicken and Peas: Return the shredded chicken to the pot, along with the frozen peas. Stir to combine.
- Add the Dumplings: Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter on top of the simmering stew. Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for 15-20 minutes until they are fluffy and fully cooked through.
- Serve: Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls, making sure to get a good mix of chicken, vegetables, and dumplings in each serving. Enjoy this comforting meal with a sprinkle of black pepper on top!
