Ingredients

  • 8 cups favorite chicken stock or broth
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 cup celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken, deboned, skinned and coarsely chopped

Thickener

  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ cup milk

Dumplings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus ¼ cup
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine dumpling ingredients until well mixed. Gather the dough into a ball and place on a well-floured surface. Pat with hands into about a 12-by-12-inch square, using additional flour to prevent sticking. Slice the dough into 24 strips.
  2. Heat the stock with vegetables in a large stockpot. When the stock begins to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and carefully add the dumplings. They will float to the top and require occasional and gentle stirring.
  3. When the dumplings begin to thicken, add the chicken pieces and combine them well. Stir ¼ cup flour into the ½ cup cold milk. When lumps are combined, gently stir this into the pot. This will make a gravy-like texture that will hold everything together. Serve hot.
