### Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 3 to 4 lbs), cut into pieces
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the chicken pieces, onion, carrots, celery, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 30-40 minutes.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pot and set it aside to cool. Strain the broth and return the vegetables to the pot. Shred the chicken, discarding the bones and skin, and add the meat back into the pot.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and butter. Pour in the milk and stir to create a dough. This will be your dumplings!
- Bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture into the pot. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings have fluffed up and cooked through.
- Finish it off by stirring in some freshly chopped parsley for that extra burst of flavor. Adjust seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.
And there you have it! A dish that’s hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor. Serve it up warm, and enjoy every spoonful with your loved ones around the table. Ain’t nothin’ like some good ol’ Chicken and Dumplings to bring everyone together!
