Soup
1, 5-6 lb smoked chicken (sub already cooked rotisserie or a raw chicken)
1 C yellow onion, diced
1/2 C celery, diced
1/2 C carrot, peeled and diced
4 C chicken stock
3 T butter
Meat Church BLANCO to taste (sub S&P)

Dumplings
1 egg
1/4 C whole milk
1 C flour
 1/2 t baking powder
1 t Meat Church Season Salt (sub salt)
2 T butter (really cold)
1 T fresh parsley, chopped

Gravy
1 C water
1/2 C flour
1/2 t Meat Church BLANCO to taste (sub S&P)

Melt the butter in a dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Sauté the the onions, celery and carrots until they are soft. 
Add the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer.
Cut up the whole chicken into pieces, cutting the breast into 2-3 smaller pieces, & place in pot. Simmer for 15 mins if using cooked, 20 if raw. 
Make the dumplings - Add one egg to a small bowl and whisk. Then add flour, baking powder and mix it up.  Add fresh parsley. Season with our Season Salt. Grate in 2 TB of butter.  Mix to combine. After the chicken has been simmering for 15 - 20 minutes.
Dollop the dumplings in the pot. Cover and cook\steam the dumplings for 10 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a spider or strainer. Set aside. 

Remove the chicken pieces. Set aside, allow to cool and shred. 

Pour the remaining stock\vegetables over a strainer into a bowl to remove all the solid pieces. Press the vegetables to strain as much liquid out as you can. Discard the vegetables.

Prepare the gravy - Return the stock to the pot over medium heat. Combine the water and flour thoroughly and whisk it into the strained stock. Stir and allow it to thicken. Return the shredded chicken. Season with Meat Church BLANCO to taste and stir. Return the dumplings to the gravy. Your Chicken and Dumplings are ready to serve!
