Steps:
- In a large pot place chicken pieces and add the chicken stock, onion, celery and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Put heat on medium low and simmer, partially covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.
- To Prepare Dumplings: In a large mixing bowl beat together the egg and milk. Add 1 cup flour, remaining salt and baking powder and mix all together. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly. Add 1 tablespoon of the parsley and mix. In 6 large spoonfuls, drop dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and let all simmer for 10 minutes more.
- To Make Gravy: Remove chicken and dumplings to a large serving bowl. Cover and set aside, keeping warm. Strain the stock left in the pot, pressing out any 'veggie liquid'. Return stock to pot. Combine water with remaining flour, then stir into the strained stock. Bring all to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken. Return chicken and dumplings to pot, combing all gently. Serve with remaining parsley.

Whisk in the beef stock and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the grilled chicken breasts, then cover the skillet and turn down the heat to medium-low. Let simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare the rice according to the package directions. Remove the rice to a large bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons parsley. Place rice on a platter, then top with the chicken and mushroom sauce. Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley.

Tips:
- Use a large pot: This is especially important if you are making a large batch of dumplings. You want to make sure that there is enough room for the dumplings to cook without overcrowding the pot.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the dumplings will not cook evenly. Be sure to drop them in one at a time, or in small batches.
- Use a slotted spoon to drop the dumplings in the pot: This will help prevent them from sticking together.
- Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low: This will help prevent the dumplings from boiling over.
- Simmer the dumplings for at least 10 minutes: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the dumplings immediately: They are best when they are hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
These chicken and dumplings are a classic comfort food that is sure to please everyone at the table. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste by adding different vegetables or spices. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try!
