Chicken and Dumplings

This meal cost me about $6 for about 6 to 8 servings. Can't beat that!

1 whole chicken
3 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons ground celery
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon granulated onion
(Can you tell my brother works in a spice factory? Yay, spices!)
1/2 cup milk
2 chicken boullion cubes
1 cup baby carrots sliced thin (just because they were in the fridge and I needed to use them.)
1 tablespoon of Salt
1 tablespoon of pepper 

Boil chicken in spices for a few hours, until the chicken breaks apart at the touch. Take out the chicken from the pot and pan for bones. You could also strain it, but I hate dishes so I just take the few extra minutes. Take the stock back to a boil.

Put flour in bowl and add butter. Use your hands to break up the butter into the flour until evenly distributed. Add milk until you get a sticky biscuit mix. Drop mix into boiling stock in "globs" about 2 tablespoons. I wait a few seconds in between so they done stick. Keep doing this until you run out of batter.

Pull the chicken meat from the bones, discard bones and skin and add back into the pot. Take a few minutes to heat chicken and enjoy!
