           - basil
 
  In a large Dutch oven, combine chicken broth, water, bay
  leaf, onion powder, and thyme. Bring to a boil over medium
  heat. Reduce heat and let simmer while making dumplings.
  
  In a large bowl, blend together flour, Parmesan cheese, and
  salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture
  resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in chopped basil. Add milk and
  stir until dough forms a ball. Divide dough in half, and
  place half on a lightly floured surface. Roll out dough to a
  1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into strips, approximately
  1" x 3"in size. Repeat with remaining half of dough.
  
  Bring chicken broth to a full rolling boil; add butter. Drop
  dumplings, a few at a time, into boiling broth, letting
  broth return to a boil before adding more. After all the
  dumplings have been added, cook for 15 minutes.
  
  While dumplings are cooking, pull meat from rotisserie
  chicken, discarding skin and bones. Shred or chop chicken.
  (You should have approximately 3 cups of meat.) Add chicken
  to dumplings. Season with pepper to taste.
  
  Reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook for 5 to 10
  minutes, or until chicken is heated through.
  
  Garnish with additional fresh basil, if desired.
