  1. Prepare the chicken by shredding it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, combine chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in shredded chicken and frozen peas and carrots until just combined.
