2carrots, sliced, or more to taste

Cooking Directions
-
Place chicken and 1 pinch salt in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil, skimming any scum off the surface with a slotted spoon. Add lemon, celery, onion, and carrots. Simmer broth over medium heat until chicken starts to fall off the bone, about 1 hour.
-
Discard lemon. Remove chicken from the pot; let cool.
-
Place flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Ladle in 2 to 3 scoops of hot broth. Mix in flour with a spoon until dough comes together into a ball.
-
Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead carefully until smooth. Roll out into a large rectangle; cut into small rectangular dumplings.
-
Drop dumplings one at a time into the simmering broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes.
-
Bone chicken and chop into pieces. Add to the pot; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Tips
Substitute a handful of baby carrots for the carrots if desired.
This is a great base for chicken soup too – just use noodles instead of making dumplings. Cook the noodles right in the soup for added flavor and add some peas!
