Steps:
- For the chicken: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the carrots, celery, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just begin to soften but don't take on any color, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until completely evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter until completely melted. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until it is completely incorporated and a sandy paste forms. Pour in the milk and stir until the flour has been smoothly incorporated into the liquid.
- Add the chicken and the chicken stock to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley and peas and remove from the heat.
- For the dumplings: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic salt, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds black pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until just combined, then add the milk and stir until a ball of dough forms.
- Use a small ice cream scoop or measuring cup to scoop 10 balls of dough into the pot (about 2 tablespoons each). Cover the pot and simmer over medium-low until the dumplings have puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with more parsley.

Steps:
- NOTE: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS USE SELF-RISING FLOUR. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING MARGARINE, LOW-FAT or FAT-FREE INGREDIENTS. USING THESE TYPES OF INGREDIENTS WILL EFFECT HOW IT BAKES! Also, please take into consideration your altitude level and adjust oven temp and baking times accordingly.
- Place chicken, 4 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper in a large stockpot. Cover with water, at least 2 inches over the chicken.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken broth. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand that you like.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be sure to use cold butter when making the dumplings. This will help them stay light and fluffy.
- Don't overmix the dumplings. Overmixing will make them tough.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-made biscuits instead of making your own dumplings.
- Serve the chicken and dumplings with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or corn.
