Servings: persons

3 1/2 lbs chicken parts (your choice, we prefer thighs without bone)
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (divided)
3 -4 tablespoons canola oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 carrots, sliced
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth or 1 1/4 cups home made chicken broth
3/4 cup water
2 stalks celery, chopped
white sauce
2 tablespoons flour
melted butter
1 cup milk (or use 1 can of cream of chicken soup in place of white sauce)
1 cup frozen peas
Dumplings
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (or use 1 1/2 cups biscuit mix instead of the above three ingredients)
3/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

1
Sprinkle the chicken parts with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.
2
Place the flour in a resealable bag with the flour and 1 tsp poultry seasoning; add about two pieces of chicken at a time and shake the bag to thoroughly coat the chicken, placing the coated chicken on a rack, repeating until all the pieces are coated with flour.
3
Heat one half of the oil in a large deep chicken fryer skillet, and add the chicken parts; brown for a few minutes on each side until a nicely golden brown color (depending on the size of the skillet, it might take two batches), and set chicken aside.
4
Add the rest of the oil to the skillet, heat, and add the onion, and carrot; saute until lightly browned and tender.
5
Add the chicken broth, water, browned chicken, celery, the remaining salt, pepper and poultry seasoning; cover and simmer 30 minutes.
6
Make the white sauce: Whisk 2 T flour in a saucepan with melted butter for about a minute, then add 1 cup milk, heating until thickened.
7
Add the white sauce (or can of cream of chicken soup) and frozen peas.
8
Make the dumplings, mixing all ingredients together and stirring until the dry ingredients are moistened.
9
Drop heaping tablespoon portions of the dumplings into the simmering chicken/liquid.
10
Cover and continue to simmer for 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the dumpling comes out clean.
11
Serve while hot.
