1 celery rib cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions:
Directions:
Coat chicken with flour, and brown in hot oil. Add celery, carrot, parsley salt, garlic powder, thyme and pepper. Add enough water to cover and bring to a quick boil. Reduce heat: cover and simmer until chicken is very tender. Remove chicken and vegetables to a serving dish. Keep warm.
Set aside 1/4 cup broth: cool. Bring remaining broth to a simmer. For dumplings, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir in egg and reserved broth just until moistened. Drop batter in mounds onto simmering broth. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering). Remove the dumplings and keep warm.
For gravy, transfer 1 1/3 cup broth to a small saucepan (save remaining broth for another use). Bring to a boil. Combine the flour, salt and water until smooth; stir into broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over chicken, vegetables and dumplings. Serve immediately.

Personal Notes:
I add more seasoning then recipe calls for because we like it like that. And, I make two times the dumplings as that is the best part, there is plenty of liquid to do that without adding any more water.
