Chicken 'N' Dumplings

I got this recipe from a cookbook I got for my birthday~and these were really good!

4 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup sliced celery

1/2 cup sliced carrots

1 bay leaf

1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes, divided

2 cups biscuit/baking mix

1/4 teasponn dried thyme

2/3 cup milk

3 cups cubed cooked chicken breast

In a dutch oven, kettle, or saucepan, combine the broth, celery, carrots, bay leaf and 1 tsp. parsley; bring to a boil.

For dumplings, combine the biscuit mix and thyme in a bowl; stir in milk and remaining parsley just until moistened. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto boinling broth. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minuts; cover and cook 10 minutes longer. Add chicken; heat through. Discard the bay leaf. Spoon over dumplings. 4 servings.
