Heck yes:

This chicken and flat dumplings recipe is true to southern fashion. None
of those blobs of dumplings, just flat almost noodle like dumplings in a
thick and creamy broth with shredded chicken. Veggies are not
traditional in a chicken and dumpling dish, however they can be added if
desired. Chicken and flat dumplings is the best “stick to your ribs”
meal for the fall and winter!
Ingredients
For the Chicken and Broth
1 whole fryer chicken (about 4 pounds)
1 medium onion
3 medium carrots
3 stalks celery
2 tsp kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
8 cups water
For the Dumplings
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ tsp baking powder
large pinch salt
2 TBSP unsalted butter, cut into pieces
¾ cup milk
