Prep a cutting board by tossing flour to cover it.
Dust a rolling pin with flour.
Set both aside.
Coat a dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the chicken stock in the dutch oven.
Warm on medium-high heat.
Add flour, Italian seasoning, and pepper to a large bowl.
Whisk to combine.
Form a hole in the center of the flour mixture.
Slowly pour in the oil and milk.
Using your hands until the dough comes together forming a moist ball.
Remove the dough ball from the bowl and put on the flour covered cutting board.
Sprinkle a light coat on the dough ball.
Using the rolling pin, spread the dough ball into a ¼ inch thick sheet.
(Add more flour if necessary to avoid the dough from sticking to the cutting board or rolling pin.)
Once the dough is rolled out, use a knife to cut pieces into 1 inch wide sections.
Cut the inch sections into 2 inch long pieces.
Sprinkle the cut sections of dough with a light coat of flour.
Add the garlic salt and Italian seasoning to the chicken stock. Stir well.
Bring the chicken stock to a boil.
Carefully add the dumplings (1 at a time) to the stock pot.
Gently stir.
Reduce heat to a simmer.
Cook on simmer for 15-20 minutes.
(Or until the dumplings have cooked through.)
Gently stir so the dumplings don’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
The sauce should begin to thicken.*
At the last 5 minutes add the shredded chicken to the pot.
Stir carefully to mix.

Taste to make sure that the dumplings are thoroughly cooked.
