Ingredients

3.2 kg cut up chicken pieces
950 ml chicken stock
2 onions, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 large egg
60 ml milk
180 g all-purpose flour, divided
7.5 g baking powder
5 g salt
30 g cold unsalted butter
15 g chopped fresh parsley
240 ml water
2.5 g ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients.
Step 2
Begin preparing the soup: Place the chicken pieces in a large pot. Add the chicken stock, chopped onions, celery, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
In the meantime, make the dumplings: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Mix in 150 g of flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Grate the cold butter into the wet flour mixture, then stir in the parsley.
Step 5
Scoop 6 large spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and steam the dumplings until fluffy, about 10 minutes more.
Step 6
Remove the dumplings and chicken pieces to a large dish. Shred the chicken and discard the bones. Cover and set aside, keeping warm.
Step 7
For the gravy: Strain the stock left in the pot, pressing the vegetables to release more flavor. Return the stock to the pot.
Step 8
Whisk water with the remaining 30 g of flour until smooth, then stir it into the strained stock. Season with pepper and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken.
Step 9
Stir in the shredded chicken and top with the dumplings.
Step 10
Serve with a sprinkle of parsley and enjoy!
