   MMMMM-------------------------DUMPLINGS------------------------------   
     1 1/3 c  A-P flour   
         2 ts Baking powder   
       3/4 ts Salt   
       2/3 c  Milk   
         1 tb Butter; melted   
      
   MMMMM----------------------------SOUP---------------------------------   
       1/2 c  Heavy whipping cream   
         2 ts Minced fresh parsley   
         2 ts Minced fresh thyme   
              Additional salt & pepper   
       
     In a shallow bowl, mix 1/2 cup flour, salt and pepper.   
     Add chicken, 1 piece at a time, and toss to coat; shake   
     off excess. In a 6 qt. stockpot, heat oil over   
     medium-high heat. Brown chicken in batches on all sides;   
     remove from pan.   
        
     Add onion, carrots and celery to same pan; cook and stir   
     6-8 minutes or until onion is tender. Add garlic; cook   
     and stir 1 minute longer. Stir in 1/4 cup flour until   
     blended. Gradually add stock, stirring constantly. Stir   
     in wine, sugar, bay leaves and peppercorns. Return   
     chicken to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer,   
     covered, 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run   
     clear.   
        
     For dumplings, in a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and   
     salt. In another bowl, whisk milk and melted butter   
     until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until   
     moistened (do not overmix). Drop by rounded   
     tablespoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet; set   
     aside.   
        
     Remove chicken from stockpot; cool slightly. Discard bay   
     leaves and skim fat from soup. Remove skin and bones   
     from chicken and discard. Using 2 forks, coarsely shred   
     meat into 1" to 1 1/2" pieces; return to soup. Cook,   
     covered, on high until mixture reaches a simmer.   
        
     Drop dumplings on top of simmering soup, a few at a   
     time. Reduce heat to low; cook, covered, 15-18 minutes   
     or until a toothpick inserted in center of dumplings   
     comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering).   
     Gently stir in cream, parsley and thyme. Season with   
     additional salt and pepper to taste.
