Gently drop the dumplings into the simmering broth. Cover the pot and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a creamier version, you can add a cup of heavy cream or half-and-half to the broth before adding the dumplings. If you're short on time, use a rotisserie chicken and store-bought broth to speed up the process. You can also add peas or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture. For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
