👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped cooked chicken, chopped fresh dill, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure the chicken is finely chopped to create a cohesive filling.
2. 2

   Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the chicken mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Add flour slowly to avoid making the dough too stiff.
3. 3

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Alternatively, if serving in broth, heat the chicken broth in a pot.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Using well-salted water will help season the dumplings from the inside.
4. 4

   Using two spoons, carefully drop small portions of the dough into the boiling water or simmering broth. The dumplings should be about the size of a large tablespoon.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Dipping spoons in hot water before scooping the dough can prevent sticking.
5. 5

   Cook the dumplings for about 10-15 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. If cooking in broth, they will absorb some of the broth's flavor.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary.
6. 6

   Remove the cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon. If serving as a side dish, you can lightly sauté them in butter for a slightly crispy exterior.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Sautéing in butter adds a rich flavor and a pleasant texture contrast.
7. 7

   Serve the dumplings hot, either in their cooking broth, with a side of sour cream, or as a component of a larger meal.

   💡 Conseils de pro: Garnish with extra fresh dill for a burst of freshness.
