In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining butter, diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the chicken back to the pot, along with chicken broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Meanwhile, prepare the potato dumplings. Boil the cubed potatoes in a medium pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Mash the potatoes until smooth, then mix in eggs, flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Knead gently to form a soft dough. Set aside.
Retrieve the chicken from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces, discarding the bones. Return the chicken to the pot.
Stir in heavy cream, black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer.
Roll the potato dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Drop the dumplings into the simmering soup. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Stir in fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
