Heat 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 slightly softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced chicken breast and cook for 3-4 minutes until the outside is no longer pink.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a steady simmer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and dried parsley.
Add the water to the flour mixture and stir gently until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Drop the dough by the tablespoonful onto the surface of the simmering broth, spacing them out evenly.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 12 minutes without lifting the lid to ensure the dumplings steam properly.
Remove from heat and serve the chicken and dumplings immediately in a shallow bowl while hot.
