Put chicken, broth, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper in a big pot. Heat on medium-high until boiling.

Lower the heat and let it simmer for around 20 minutes until the chicken cooks through. Take the chicken out, let it cool, and shred it into small pieces.

Take out the bay leaves and return the shredded chicken to the simmering soup. Keep it on low heat while you prepare the dumplings.

In one bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking powder. In another, mix melted butter and milk. Combine both just enough to form a dough.

Spoon small portions of the dumpling dough into the soup. Cover the pot tightly and let it cook for 15 minutes. Don’t lift the lid while it cooks!

Stir everything gently, adjust the seasoning to your liking, and dish it up in bowls. Sprinkle parsley on top before serving.
