2. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool.  When the chicken has become cool enough to handle, then remove the skin and separate the meat from the bones. After you have de-boned the chicken put it back into the pot and keep it warm over a low heat.

For the Dumplings:

1. Mix the flour with the salt and mound together in a mixing bowl.  Starting at the center of the mound, drizzle a small amount of ice water over the flour. While using yours fingers, and moving from the center to the sides of the bowl, gradually incorporate about ¾ cups of ice water.  Knead the dough and form it into a ball.
2. After the ball has been formed, dust a good amount of flour onto a clean work surface.  Roll out the dough (keep in mind it will be firm), working from center to 1/8-inch thick.Then let the dough relax for several minutes.

For the Entire Meal:

1. Add the cream of celery soup to the pot with the chicken and simmer gently over a medium-low heat.
2. Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces, pull a piece in half and drop the halves into the simmering soup.  Repeat this process until the entire dough has been used.  Do NOT stir the chicken once the dumplings have been added.
3. Gently move the pot in a circular motion so the dumplings become submerged and cook evenly.  Cook until the dumplings float and are no longer doughy, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
4. After the dumplings have achieved the desired look, ladle the chicken, gravy, and dumplings into warms bowls and enjoy!

*If the chicken stew is too thin then you can thicken it before adding in the dumplings by mixing together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and ¼ cup of water.  Whisk the mixture into the stew.
