Steps:
- In a large pot place chicken pieces and add the chicken stock, onion, celery and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Put heat on medium low and simmer, partially covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.
- To Prepare Dumplings: In a large mixing bowl beat together the egg and milk. Add 1 cup flour, remaining salt and baking powder and mix all together. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly. Add 1 tablespoon of the parsley and mix. In 6 large spoonfuls, drop dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and let all simmer for 10 minutes more.
- To Make Gravy: Remove chicken and dumplings to a large serving bowl. Cover and set aside, keeping warm. Strain the stock left in the pot, pressing out any 'veggie liquid'. Return stock to pot. Combine water with remaining flour, then stir into the strained stock. Bring all to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken. Return chicken and dumplings to pot, combing all gently. Serve with remaining parsley.

Steps:
- Boil the chicken until done ..save the broth..debone chicken & return to the pot with broth. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Cut your tortillas into strips...add them a few at a time to the boling broth with chicken.
- Add salt & pepper to taste...cook until done...do not over cook...
- NOBODY WILL KNOW YOU DIDN'T MAKE THIS FROM SCRATCH !!! shhhh....don't tell....
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh chicken breasts or thighs. You can also use a rotisserie chicken to save time.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to season the chicken well before dredging it in the flour mixture. This will help to ensure that the chicken is flavorful throughout.
- When frying the chicken, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Fry the chicken in small batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- To make the dumplings, be sure to use cold butter. This will help to keep the dumplings light and fluffy.
- Don't overmix the dumpling dough. Overmixing will make the dumplings tough.
- When adding the dumplings to the soup, be sure to drop them in gently. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Serve the chicken and dumplings immediately, while they're still hot.

Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food that's perfect for a cold winter day. This fake-out version is just as delicious as the traditional recipe, but it's much easier to make.
