FAQ
Can I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken?
Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts if you prefer. Simply reduce the cooking time to about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Can I make the dumplings ahead of time?
While it’s best to make the dumplings fresh and add them to the simmering broth right before serving, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a few hours.
Can I add other vegetables to the broth?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite vegetables, such as peas, corn, or mushrooms, to the broth.
