Chicken 'n Dumplings

For the dumplings: (Make ahead a few hours before you are ready to prepare the meal.)

2 cups flour  
1 teaspoon salt  
1 tablespoon parsley  
1/4 cup butter, melted  
1 cup milk

Combine all ingredients and roll out on a floured board/counter top. Cover with a flour sack towel and allow to set for at least 2 hours.

For the broth:

Approx. 4 cups cooked diced chicken  
8 cups of chicken broth
a few celery stalks, chopped  
one onion, diced garlic, 
salt and pepper to taste

Bring to a gentle boil. Slice dumplings in 1"x 3" strips and drop them in broth. I like to use my pizza cutter to cut the dough, and I scoop the dumplings up with my tiny Pampered Chef spatula after dipping the tip in flour.

Boil for 10 minutes uncovered, then simmer for another 10 minutes covered.
