Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté the diced chicken until cooked through.

Add about 1 cup of flavorful chicken stock to the pot with the chicken and bring to a simmer.

In a separate bowl, mix flour with enough oil to create a roux consistency.

Add the roux to the simmering chicken stock gradually, whisking to thicken the sauce.

Cook the sauce for about 5 minutes on medium-low heat.

In another bowl, combine 1.5 cups of flour, salt, and crack an egg in the middle.

Add milk to the flour mixture and whisk until combined to form the dumpling batter.

Scoop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter into boiling salted water.

Once dumplings float, cook for an additional minute, then transfer them to the sauce with chicken.
