This takes a long time, but it is worth the work. If you decide to use canned broth, cut the salt in the dumplings. (I'm guesstimating on the prep/cook time.)

Steps:
- Boil 3 quarts water in a large pot.
- Add chicken, 1 t salt, onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf and parsley and simmer for 2 hours.
- The liquid will reduce by 1/3.
- When chicken is cooked, remove it and set aside.
- Strain stock and throw away everything but the stock.
- Put 6 cups of the stock back into the pot. (Leftover stock can be frozen.)
- Add the pepper, 1/2 t salt and lemon juice and reheat while you mix dumplings.
- For dumplings, mix flour, baking powder, 1-1/4 t salt and milk in a medium bowl.
- Stir until smooth, then let dough rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Roll dough onto a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. (Handle the dough as little as possible for good dumplings).
- Cut the dough into 1/2 inch squares (I use a pizza cutter) and drop each square into the simmering stock.
- Use all of the dough.
- The dumplings will first swell and then slowly shrink as they partially dissolve to thicken the stock into a white gravy.
- Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes until thick.
- Stir often.
- While the stock is thickening, the chicken will have cooled.
- Tear all the meat from the bones and remove the skin.
- Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and drop them into the pot.
- Cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, but stir carefully so you don't break the chicken up.
- When the gravy has reached the desired consistency, ladle four portions onto plates and serve hot.
- (Very good over mashed potatoes.).
