Better than Cracker Barrel Chicken 'n Dumplings

1. 1

   Put the chicken and 1 pinch salt in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, skimming off any scum with a slotted spoon. Add the lemon, celery, onion, and carrots. Simmer the broth over medium heat until the chicken begins to fall off the bone, about 1 hour.

2. 2

   Discard the lemon. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool.

3. 3

   Put the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Ladle 2 to 3 scoops of hot broth into the well. Stir the flour with a spoon until the dough comes together into a ball.

4. 4

   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead gently until smooth. Roll it into a large rectangle and cut into small rectangular dumplings.

5. 5

   Drop the dumplings one at a time into the simmering broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove the bones from the chicken and chop it into pieces. Add to the pot and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
