Melt the ghee in a medium pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are fragrant and tender.
Pour in the chicken bone broth and add the sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Add the whole chicken breast to the pot, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
While the chicken simmers, whisk the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
Stir the water into the flour mixture until a thick, tacky dough forms.
Remove the chicken breast from the pot, shred it with two forks, and return the shredded meat to the broth.
Drop the dumpling dough by the tablespoon into the simmering broth, making about 4 to 5 small dumplings.
Cover the pot tightly and steam for 10 minutes without lifting the lid until the dumplings are airy and cooked through.
