- Brown the chicken well—it adds depth of flavor to the broth.
- Use a mix of chicken thighs and breasts for tender, juicy results.
- Simmer gently after adding dumplings to prevent them from becoming dense.
Variations
- Herb-Infused: Add rosemary or parsley for extra aroma.
- Vegetable Boost: Include potatoes or green beans for added texture.

- Slow Cooker Version: Brown chicken and sauté veggies, then transfer to a slow cooker; add broth and simmer 2–3 hours before adding dumplings.
