    1 1/2 tsp salt
    1 small onion, sliced
    2 stalks celery, chopped
    1 clover garlic, peeled and quartered
    1 bay leaf
    4 to 6 whole parsley leaves
    1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
    1 tbsp lemon juice

    Dumplings:
    2 c flour
    1 tbsp baking powder
    1 1/4 tsp salt
    1 c plus 2 tbsp milk

    Recipe





    Bring water to a boil and add chicken, salt, onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf and
    parsley. Reduce to a simmerand cook about 2 hours, until chicken is cooked.
    The liquid will reduce by about 1/3.

    Remove cooked chicken, remove skin and bones, and cut into bite sized
    pieces. Strain broth to remove vegetables - discard vegetables.

    Return 6 cups of broth to the pot. Remaining stock may be frozen.

    Add pepper, remaining salt and lemon juice. Reheat over medium heat while
    preparing dumplings.

    Dumplings:
    combine dry ingredients. Add milk. Stir well and let dough rest 5 to 10
    minutes. Roll dough out on floured surface to a 1/2 inch thickness.
    Cut dough into 1/2 inch squares and drop into simmering broth. They will
    swell and then shrink. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring often. Add
    chicken to pot and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.
