Directions

CHICKEN:

In a dutch oven or large skillet, brown the chicken in oil.
Add salt, celery, onion, carrots, pepper, bay leaf and chicken stock.
Heat to boiling, reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes.

Heat over medium high heat until it boils and thickens, stirring constantly.

DUMPLINGS:

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, parsley, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
Stir in the milk, oil and egg until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls on top of the boiling chicken mixture.
