Directions: |
Directions:Rather than using purchased chicken broth, you can slow boil the whole chicken with the bouillion, salt, pepper, 1 stalk of celery, onion, bay leaves and garlic. When the chicken is falling off the bone, strain the broth into a bowl and debone the chicken. Put the chicken and the broth back into a pot on the stove and bring them back to a low boil. Add fresh celery, carrots and parsley at this time. While the carrots and celery are cooking prepare the dumplings. |
