Directions

In a large dutch oven or stock pot, heat 3 tablespoons butter over medium-high. Add onions, garlic, carrot, and celery and cook until onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in chicken stock, stirring to avoid lumps, pour in water, add Old Bay and bay leaf, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and season with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter and stir in milk. Drop dough by spoonfuls into the chicken mixture. Cover and cook until dumplings have cooked through, about 12 minutes.
