Chicken Vegetable Stew with Dumplings

 Susan (Florida) says:
I used sliced real mushrooms, which i sauteed with the carrots, celery onion and 4 cloves of garlic not listed here. The fat/skin was removed from chicken prior to cooking. When the chicken was falling off the bone it was cooled removed, put back in the pot with the veggies. I roll the dough out like gnocci and cut bite sized pieces for the dumplings instead of teaspoon balls. Yummy!
