Ingredients
  • 7 pounds cut up chicken pieces
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 cup water

Instructions
1
Acquire the necessary components for preparation.
2
Begin by placing chicken pieces in a substantial container; add chicken stock, onions, celery, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, then allow it to simmer, partially covered, until the chicken becomes tender, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
3
Concurrently, prepare the dumplings: Combine egg and milk in a large mixing bowl. Blend in 1 cup of flour, baking powder, and salt.
4
Add cold butter to the wet ingredients; stir in parsley.
5
Drop 6 large spoonfuls of dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken; cover the container and allow the dumplings to cook until fluffy, an additional 10 minutes.
6
Transfer the chicken pieces and dumplings to a large serving dish; shred the chicken and discard the bones. Cover and set aside, keeping warm.
7
Prepare the gravy: Strain the stock left in the pot, pressing the vegetables to release more flavor; return the stock to the container.
8
Whisk water with remaining 1/2 cup of flour until smooth; stir it into the strained stock. Season with pepper and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken.
9
Combine the chicken with the gravy; top with dumplings.
