Steps to make Lee's Homemade Chicken and Dumplings:

Strain stock through a seive, discarding vegetable pieces and any other unwanted pieces. Set aside until ready for use.
  2. To make the soup combine the chicken stock, celery, and carrots. Bring to a low boil and let cook until vegetables are tender. Around 30 minutes. Next add the celery soup and leaves, shredded chicken meat, salt and ground pepper. Bring back to a simmer. Now is the time to adjust the salt!
  3. Mix together the baking mix, seasoned salt, and chopped celery leaves. Add the milk into the dry ingredients, and stir together until a dough forms. Dough will be sticky. It helps to put the dough in the refrigerator for a short while and let chill somewhat. Makes it easier to handle.

Let cook covered for 20-30 minutes until dumplings are set and fully cooked. Gently flip over halfway during the cooking time.
