Preparation
Step 1
Cut chicken and stew for 1 hour in the salted water with poultry seasoning, pepper and bouillon cube, half the carrots and celery, and 1 of the onions until tender.
Remove chicken; strain stock and discard vegetables. Add water to stock to make 6 cups. Add remaining vegetables and bring slowly to boil.
Blend flour, slat, and baking powder. Combine milke and egg with blended dry ingredients, making a soft sticky dough. When chicken broth is boiling, drop in the dumpling batter, 1/2 tsp. of dough at a time. Cover: boil 10 minutes exactly.
Mix cornstarch to a smooth paste with a little cold water and stir into simmering pot. Return chicken to pot, continue to simmer and stir gently until chicken is hot and gravy rich and clear. Garnish with parsley.
