Add potatoes; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Whisk flour with 1/3 cup (75 mL) cold water; whisk into broth mixture.
Dumplings: Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using pastry blender, cut in butter until in coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk and parsley to make sticky spoonable dough.
Drop by 8 spoonfuls onto simmering stew. Cook, covered and without lifting lid, until dumplings are no longer doughy underneath and juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
