Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Broth
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast Ensure it’s halal
  • 4 cups chicken broth Low-sodium is best
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup celery, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add in the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together, around 10 minutes.
Dumpling Preparation
  1. In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the eggs and almond milk, then add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
Cooking
  1. Once the broth is simmering, drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the broth. Cover and let cook for about 10 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
Serving
  1. Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy.
