Answers:
Chicken and Dumplings
Chicken:
1 (2 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
3 ribs celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 bay leaves
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of celery or cream of chicken soup
Dumplings:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Ice water
To start the chicken: Place the chicken, celery, onion, bay leaves, bouillon, and House Seasoning in a large pot. Add 4 quarts of water and in water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer the chicken until it is tender and the thigh juices run clear, about 40 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and, when it is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and separate the meat from the bones. Return the chicken meat to the pot. Keep warm over low heat.
To prepare the dumplings: Mix the flour with the salt and mound together in a mixing bowl. Beginning at the center of the mound, drizzle a small amount of ice water over the flour. Using your fingers, and moving from the center to the sides of the bowl, gradually incorporate about 3/4 cup of ice water. Knead the dough and form it into ball.
Dust a good amount of flour onto a clean work surface. Roll out the dough (it will be firm), working from center to 1/8-inch thick. Let the dough relax for several minutes.
Add the cream of celery soup to the pot with the chicken and simmer gently over medium-low heat.
Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces. Pull a piece in half and drop the halves into the simmering soup. Repeat. Do not stir the chicken once the dumplings have been added. Gently move the pot in a circular motion so the dumplings become submerged and cook evenly. Cook until the dumplings float and are no longer doughy, 3 to 4 minutes.
To serve, ladle chicken, gravy, and dumplings into warm bowls.
Cook's Note: If the chicken stew is too thin it can be thickened before the dumplings are added. Simply mix together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water then whisk this mixture into the stew.
House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

I love the way my grandma made it which was to cook your rice, probably 4 cups depending on how many to serve. Pull apart boiled chicken and add to rice with a can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup. Add water to desired consistency and bake for 20 min
I saute the chicken in olive oil, garlic, olives, capers, chopped onions & bell peppers and also a bit of prapika & cumin once chix ins brown on all sides add some wine or 1 can of beer add some tomato sauce or paste and let it simemr for a couple minutes, this way you'll partially cook the chicken and also cook of the alcohol, then check for seasoning and add the rice, stirr and mix well then add 1 cup of liquid for each cup of rice and stirr, check for taste and add seasoning if needed, then over me-high heat let is simmer until wateris evaporated, stir well and cover for 20- -25 minutes, cook onver a med-low flame. Do not mess with the rice until at least 20 min. has pass, then take uncover and stir with a for, this way you'll fluff the rice up, enjoy !!!
Chicken and Dumplings is my husbands FAVORITE meal. But I can't seem to make it as good as his mother - go figure. The best I have been able to come up with that is pretty easy is this recipe.
3 chicken breast
1 bag of baby carrots
1 large onion
1 bay leaf
1 sprig of thyme
1 container of refridgerator biscuts
1 box of chicken stock
I sautee the chicken breast in a large pot with olive oil. I cook it all the way through. I take the chicken out of the pot and put in on a dish. In the left over pan I fry up the onions, thyme, bay leaf and carrots for about five minutes, you may need to add a little more olive oil. In the same pan I add 2 tbsp. of olive oil and butter. To this I add 4 tbsp. of flour and cook this for about five minutes. Then I slowly whisk in the whole quart of chicken stock. It will seem kind of thin for chicken and dumplings, but it's okay. Taste it for salt and pepper. Make sure it tastes good. Then take the fridge biscuts and cut them into quarters and add them to the simmering stock. While they are cooking, dice up the chicken and add it to the mix. It should only take about 10 minutes once you add the chicken for it to get real thick. YUM! Not as good as my mother in law's but it is still good.
