INGREDIENTS

  • Main

    • 🍗 1 whole chicken
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt
    • 💧 Water to cover
    • 🍋 1 lemon, halved
    • 🥬 2 stalks celery, sliced
    • 🧅 1 small onion, chopped
    • 🥕 2 carrots, sliced
    • 🌾 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 Salt and ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Place chicken and 1 pinch salt in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil, skimming any scum off the surface with a slotted spoon. Add lemon, celery, onion, and carrots. Simmer broth over medium heat until chicken starts to fall off the bone, about 1 hour.

2

Discard lemon. Remove chicken from the pot; let cool.

3

Place flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Ladle in 2 to 3 scoops of hot broth. Mix in flour with a spoon until dough comes together into a ball.

4

Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead carefully until smooth. Roll out into a large rectangle; cut into small rectangular dumplings.

5

Drop dumplings one at a time into the simmering broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes.

6

Bone chicken and chop into pieces. Add to the pot; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

💡 For added flavor, use chicken stock instead of plain water.The lemon helps tenderize the chicken and adds a subtle brightness to the broth.Make sure to stir the dumplings occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
