Here’s how to make it:

1. Prep the chicken: Wash the chicken and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook the chicken until fully done, then remove and set aside.
2. Cook the vegetables: In the same pot, add diced onions and minced garlic. Cook until fragrant. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for a few minutes.
3. Make the dumplings: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and melted butter. Slowly mix in milk until a non-sticky dough forms. If needed, add a bit more flour. Roll the dough flat to your desired thickness and cut into small squares.

4. Assemble the soup: Pour chicken broth and water into the pot. Let the mixture simmer, then add heavy whipping cream. Add the cooked chicken back into the pot.
5. Add the dumplings: Add the dumplings to the broth, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Lower the heat and cook until the dumplings puff up and float to the top, about 10–15 minutes.
6. Combine and serve: Let everything simmer together for another 10 minutes, allowing the broth to thicken.

Enjoy your yummy bowl of chicken and dumplings!
