Place chicken back into frypan. Add 1 1/2 c. broth, onion, celery and mushrooms. When the liquids begin to boil, turn the temperature dial to Medium Simmer. Cover. Simmer for 2 hours until large pieces are tender. Taste the gravy and add more seasonings, if desired. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.
