Image Step 01
01 Step

Recipe View In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the ice water until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half, shape into balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. (Prep time: 20 minutes, Chill time: 2+ hours)

Recipe View Remove the skin from the chicken breasts, thighs, and back, but leave it on the legs and wings for added flavor. Season the chicken pieces generously with seasoning salt. Place the seasoned chicken in a large stock pot. Pour in the water. Add the chopped onion, celery, and margarine. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is very tender and easily falls off the bone. (Cook time: 1 hour 30 minutes)

03 Step

Recipe View On a lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares using a knife or pizza cutter. Gently drop the dumpling squares into the simmering broth, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook the dumplings for about 2 minutes. Stir gently to prevent sticking, adding more water or chicken broth if needed to maintain a soupy consistency. Season the broth to taste with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and tender. (Cook time: 20 minutes)

For richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock instead of water.
If you don't have time to chill the dough, you can use pre-made biscuit dough instead.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the broth, such as carrots, peas, or potatoes.

    The addition of celery really elevates the flavor of the broth. I also appreciate the tip about using chicken broth instead of water for a richer taste.
