chicken pieces (from a chicken carcass, breast, etc.)

1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon shopped fresh thyme

Directions:
Stew: Prep all vegie and chicken ahead of time. Have ready. Add oil to bottom of a heavy-bottomed pot over low heat. Sauté onions in oil until just clear. Add garlic and continue one minute. Push garlic and onions to side and use a whisk to mix flour into oil. Continue whisking as you stream the broth in slowly, careful to eliminate clumps. Add rest of ingredients for stew, bring to boil, then lower heat to simmer covered for 20 to 25 minutes.

Dumplings: Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix in rosemary. Make a well in the center and add the milk and olive oil. Mix together until a wet dough forms. When the stew is ready, drop spoonfuls of dough right on top of simmering stew. You should get about 14 dumplings. Cover the pot tightly and cook about 15 minutes. The dumplings should be nice and firm.

Personal Notes:
This is a cake-style dumpling, not the doughy kind my mom always made. Her's are included in the cookbook, of course.
