• place the chicken breasts into a large soup pot, cover with water, and sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and sage. bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 30 minutes. remove the chicken to a bowl, and let cool; shred chicken when cooled.
• while chicken is cooling, bring the chicken broth left in the pot back to a boil over medium heat, and stir in the celery, onion powder, and garlic powder. reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the celery is tender, about 20 minutes.
• meanwhile, whisk 1 cup of all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. stir in the cream to make a dough. sprinkle a work surface with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour, and roll the dough out about 1/4-inch thick. using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1 1/2 inch squares. toss the dumplings in the flour on the work surface.
• drop the dumplings, a few at a time, into the simmering broth. stir frequently to keep them from sticking to the bottom; allow to simmer until the dumplings puff up and the broth thickens, about 30 minutes; stir in the cooked shredded chicken and parsley. bring back to a boil, and serve hot in bowls.
