Steps:
- For the soup: Place the chicken pieces and the backbones in a large pot and cover with 16 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and poach the chicken until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Use tongs to remove the chicken pieces and set aside to cool; discard the backbones. Once the chicken cools enough to handle, pull the meat from the bones, shred and roughly chop; set aside. Strain the chicken broth and keep warm.
- In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat, and stir in the carrots, garlic, celery, leeks, onions and poultry seasoning. Cook the vegetables until they begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes, then stir in the flour.
- Add the reserved chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the soup thickens slightly and vegetables soften, about 25 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and bring the soup back to a low simmer.
- For the dumplings: In a medium bowl, add the flour. Use two butter knives to cut in the milk, butter, baking powder, salt and eggs. Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary. The dough should be moist but not too wet.
- Pull the dough into 1/4-cup pieces and place directly in the simmering soup; cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve.

GRANDMA'S FAVORITE CHICKEN
My Grandma used to make this chicken and it was my mom's favorite. It is very easy, quick, flexible, and delicious. You may add as many different veggies and any amount you want. The broth made from this is great to dip bread and butter; my brother loves to have it as soup. Yum!!!

NOT GRANDMA'S CREAMED CHICKEN & BISCUITS
The original recipe is from Grandma's Kitchen Treasured Family Recipes. The fat content was so high that I would never dream of serving it to my family. With the reduced fat contents that I used, I've found this to be delicious. When I don't have leftover cooked chicken, I buy a small precooked rotisserie chicken at the market.

GRANDMA NANCY'S CHICKEN AND BISCUITS
Growing up, Grandma Nancy made her famous Chicken & Biscuits for every special occasion and holiday gathering! It was always delicious and we never got tired of it! Grandma went into an assisted living facility over 2 years ago; and unfortunately can no longer cook her delicious meals. Since she never followed recipes, there was no "official recipe" in writing for her famous Chicken & Biscuits. Oh, how we missed that meal! So a few months ago, mom sat down with her and asked her to walk through her process step-by-step. Mom went home and made it and from the very first bite, she had it...mom nailed the recipe! I now have my hands on it and I was sure to get it written down so I can pass this family favorite onto my kids!! It's a new family favorite in this house!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender or knife, cut butter into mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk a little at a time until a soft dough forms. Drop the dough onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet (you should get about 6 biscuits). Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine 2 c. broth, carrots & celery. Heat on high, just until mixture comes to a boil and vegetables start to get tender.
- Add the remaining broth and chicken and bring the mixture back up to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and allow it to simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a plate. Use two forks to pull it apart into bite-sized pieces. Set aside momentarily.
- Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Add mixture to the hot broth and whisk continuously over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken back to the saucepan and stir well.
- To serve, split a biscuit horizontally and place it on a serving plate. Spoon a generous amount of chicken & gravy over the biscuits. Serve with mashed potatoes if desired.
Tips:
- When choosing a chicken, look for one that is plump and has a moist, smooth skin. Avoid any chicken that appears to be bruised or has a foul odor.
- To ensure that your chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you are using a cast iron skillet, make sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before adding the chicken. This will help to create a crispy crust on the chicken.
- For a more flavorful gravy, use the drippings from the chicken to make a roux. A roux is a mixture of fat and flour that is used to thicken sauces and gravies.
- To make fluffy biscuits, be sure to use cold butter and buttermilk. The cold butter will help to create a flaky crust, while the buttermilk will help to make the biscuits light and airy.
- When baking the biscuits, be sure to place them close together on a baking sheet. This will help them to rise and create a crispy crust.
Conclusion:
Grandma Nancy's Chicken and Biscuits is a classic Southern comfort food dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. The chicken is tender and juicy, the gravy is flavorful, and the biscuits are light and fluffy. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home and enjoy a taste of Southern hospitality.
