Directions:
Place chicken in a Dutch oven with onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, parsley, salt,& pepper. Add enough cold water to cover. Bring just to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to low cover, and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Remove chicken, and let rest until cool enough to handle. Skin and bone chicken, leaving the meat in large chunks; set aside. Remove bay leaves from the broth and discard. Skim as much fat as possible from the surface of the broth. Heat broth to a slow steady boil. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and remaining salt. Stir in milk, and beat until stiff. Drop batter 1 Tbls at a time into boiling broth. Cover, and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. The dumplings should be puffed and the chicken warmed through. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
