Steps:
- Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, and parsley. Add salt and pepper and cook vegetables until they sweat, about 5 minutes. Drop the chicken right into the stockpot and add water to cover by 3 to 4 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, place flour in a large bowl; cut in shortening. Add buttermilk slowly until flour comes together in a a large ball. Knead dough slightly; do not overdo it or dumplings will not be fluffy. Roll dough out and cut into dumpling strips.
- Pull cooked chicken out of pot and let cool until safe to handle, about 15 minutes. Reserve stock.
- Shred chicken meat. Pull all veggie chunks out of stock. Add shredded chicken back to the pot with stock and bring to a boil.
- Add dumplings slowly, 1 at a time, stirring constantly to keep from sticking. Cook until stock is thickened and dumplings are no longer cream-colored, but almost brownish-grey, 5 to 10 minutes.
