# Steps to Make It:

01 - In your big pot, warm up the oil over medium heat.
02 - Toss in the celery, carrots, and onion, cooking until they're nice and soft—about five minutes.
03 - Add garlic and let it sizzle for half a minute.
04 - Drop in the butter, melt it, then stir in the flour carefully for a paste.
05 - Pour chicken broth in slowly, whisking as you go.
06 - Mix in the seasoning and let everything bubble gently.
07 - Put in the chicken breasts, cover it up, and let it cook for about 20 to 25 minutes.
08 - Take out the chicken, shred it into pieces, and put it back into the pot.
09 - Pour in the evaporated milk and throw in the peas, stirring everything together.
10 - For the dumplings, first mix the flour and baking powder.
11 - Add cold butter into the mixture until it’s crumbly in texture.
12 - Pour in milk and stir so you’ve got a firm dough.
13 - On a floured counter, roll out the dough until it's about a quarter-inch thick.
14 - Cut out small squares from the dough using a knife or cutter.
15 - Plop the dumplings gently into the pot one by one. Let them cook for 15–20 minutes until firm.
16 - Before serving, sprinkle some parsley over everything.

# Extra Information:

01 - Keep the broth bubbling softly when simmering dumplings since hard boiling may break them apart.
