Start by boiling 2 seasoned chicken breasts in water.

Add 3 chicken bouillon cubes to enhance the flavor.

Turn up the heat and let the chicken cook.

In a bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour with a little salt and baking powder.

Pour in melted butter and create a well in the center of the flour.

Gradually add chicken stock while mixing.

Once mixed, use hands to form a dough ball.

Flour the surface and roll out the dough as thinly as possible.

Cut the rolled dough into 2-inch strips and let them sit for about 15 minutes to dry.

Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool before cutting it up.

Add half evaporated milk and half regular milk to the broth and stir.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra pepper.

Bring the broth to a slight simmer, not a full boil.

Carefully add the dumplings to the simmering broth.

Add the cut-up chicken back into the pot and stir well.

Add some butter and stir again.

Let the mixture simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.
