This is what you should make for the family on a cold winter night. This meal takes about an hour and half to make, from start to finish, and it should feed about four people. The dumplings are the most important part of this recipe, so be mindful when you get to those steps.

What You Will Need:

• 1 whole chicken, cut up or 2-3 lb chicken parts
• 2 tbs unsalted butter
• 2 chicken stock cubes
• 3 ribs celery, cut in 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup baby carrots
• ½ cup onion, chopped
• 1 small bay leaf
• 2½ cups water
• Dumplings
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tbs unsalted butter, cut up in small pieces
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ¾ cup milk

How To Prepare:

1. Heat a large dutch oven over medium-high heat
2. Add the 2 tbs butter to the pan and melt.
3. Add chicken, brown well on all sides. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
4. Add the celery, onion, baby carrots and bay leaf to the pan and saute until onion just begins to get soft.
5. Place the chicken back in the pan. Add stock cubes, and the water.
6. Bring to boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 30-40 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare dumplings as follows:

1. Place flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl; stir to combine.
2. Add the flour and using a pastry blender, cut the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
3. Gradually add the milk while stirring adding only enough milk to make a rollable dough.
4. Turn dough out on lightly floured surface and knead a few times.
5. Roll out dough so it's ¼-inch thick.
6. Using a pizza cutter (or a knife), cut dough into 1-inch squares (approximate)
7. Let the cut dough remain on the floured surface so it dries slightly.
