While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dough for the dumplings: Combine the flour, baking powder, buttermilk, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl. Stir until the dough just comes together—it will be shaggy. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 1-inch squares, separating the squares as you cut them so they do not touch one another. Sprinkle the squares with more flour.

Return the chicken to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for ⏱️ 15 minutes to ensure the dumplings are cooked through. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
