Measure out 4 cups of chicken broth and add it to a large pan.

Add 2 teaspoons of poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the pan.

Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the mixture and stir.

Place a lid on the pan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Cut 1 pound of boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add it to the broth, stirring to combine.

While the chicken simmers, make a slurry by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 3 cups of milk using a stick blender or food processor.

Add the slurry to the chicken broth mixture.

Add 2 cups of frozen peas and carrots to the pot and stir.

Notice the consistency of the mixture as it simmers; it will thicken and become creamier.

To make the dumplings, mix 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of softened butter, and 1 cup of milk together until thick.

Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the pot with the chicken and broth mixture.
