Ingredients

For the chickens:

1.5 kg bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
1 liter chicken stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ribs celery diced
2 large carrots
1 large yellow onion
35 grams all-purpose flour
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
125 ml heavy cream
1 tablespoon minced parsley

For the dumplings:

285 grams cake flour
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 tablespoon minced chives
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
200 ml whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg

Instructions

Bring the chicken and stock to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat to prepare the chicken. For around 30 minutes, cook the chicken while lowering the heat. Move the chicken to a bowl with tongs once it is cold enough to handle. Remove and discard the bones before shredding the meat. Discard any particles after filtering the broth, then set aside. The pan should be cleaned.
In a medium-sized pot, melt the butter along with the oil. Cook the celery, carrots, and onion for for 8 minutes, or until tender. Cook for 2 minutes after adding the flour, then gradually whisk in 4 cups or 1 liter of the remaining stock until smooth. Keep heated and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
To make the dumplings, combine the flour, parsley, chives, baking soda, and salt in a big bowl. Mix the milk, butter, and egg in a separate small bowl before adding it to the dry ingredients and stirring just until the dough comes together. The dough should be sticky.
Over medium heat, boil the chicken gravy for a little while.
12 dumplings should be placed in the chicken gravy (each should be around 2 tablespoons).
Cook the dumplings for 12 to 15 minutes under cover until they are thoroughly heated.
After adding the cream, parsley, and reserved chicken shreds, serve.
