   • In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour with pepper.
   • Dredge the chicken legs and thigh in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

2. Brown Chicken:

   • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
   • Brown the chicken pieces in the hot oil, adding more oil if needed.
   • Once browned, remove the chicken from the pot, but keep the drippings.

3. Saute Aromatics:

   • Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot.
   • Cook until the onion becomes tender and translucent, infusing the oil with aromatic flavors.

4. Prepare Broth:

   • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour into the pot and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
   • Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring to incorporate.
   • Add the fresh basil, thyme, rosemary, lemon rind, and lemon juice, infusing the broth with herbal and citrus notes.

5. Simmer Chicken:

   • Bring the broth to a gentle boil, then return the browned chicken pieces to the pot.
   • Cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer, allowing the chicken to cook in the flavorful broth for 30 minutes.

6. Prepare Dumplings:

   • While the chicken simmers, combine 2 cups of self-rising flour with sour cream in a mixing bowl.
   • Stir the mixture with a fork until a dough forms, handling it as little as possible.
   • Shape the dough into 2-inch balls, creating fluffy dumplings ready to absorb the savory broth.

7. Cook Dumplings:

   • Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, remove it from the pot and keep it warm.
   • Bring the broth to a boil again, then gently add the dumplings to the pot.
   • Cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer, allowing the dumplings to cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until firm in the center.

8. Serve:

   • Once the dumplings are cooked, remove the pot from the heat.
   • Stir in the sour cream, creating a creamy and indulgent broth.
   • Serve the Chicken and Dumplings hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
