Old-fashioned Chicken And Dumplings
  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Start the soup: Place chicken pieces in a large pot; add chicken stock, onions, celery, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, then simmer, partially covered, until chicken is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, make the dumplings: Beat egg and milk together in a large mixing bowl. Mix in 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Grate cold butter into the wet flour mixture; stir in parsley.

  5. Dollop 6 large spoonfuls of dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and steam dumplings until fluffy, 10 minutes more.

  6. Remove dumplings and chicken pieces to a large dish; shred chicken and discard bones. Cover and set aside, keeping warm.

  7. For the gravy: Strain stock left in the pot, pressing the vegetables to release more flavor; return stock to the pot.

  8. Whisk water with remaining ½ cup flour until smooth; stir into the strained stock. Season with pepper and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken.

  9. Stir in chicken and top with dumplings.

  10. Serve with parsley and enjoy!
