Method
Step 1
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 tablespoon tarragon, celery, carrot, onion, and garlic; saute 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Step 2
Add stock; bring to a boil. Add chicken, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until chicken is done.
Step 3
Combine flour, baking powder, remaining 1 tablespoon thyme, remaining 1 tablespoon tarragon, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl.
Step 4
Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk; stir just until moist. Drop dough, 2 teaspoons at a time, into the stock mixture, forming 16 dumplings. Cover and simmer 7 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through. Enjoy!
