12oz Jumbo Shells (you will count out 25-28)

Get your water started while you start to cook your 2lbs of beef.

Make sure to drain off the excess grease once done. Once fully cooked add your chopped onion.

Mix well and then add your RoTel and garlic powder

Mix well and let simmer for about 10 minutes to let the onions soften. Next add your 8oz of cream cheese and mix well.

Turn off the burner and let cool.

Trim any excess fat off your chicken breasts and place in the bottom of your crock pot. Cut up your 4 tablespoons of butter and place over your chicken.

Pour your 4 cans of cream of chicken over your chicken, next your chicken broth, finely chop up 3/4 of your onion and add to the crock pot and finally your parsley.

Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8-9 hours.

Once your cook time is up stir so your chicken breaks up. If you have some larger pieces, the easiest way to break them up without having to take them out and cut them is use a flat spoon and tongs. Place the chicken on the spoon and close the tongs, place tongs in the middle of the chicken and as you open them it will break up the chicken.

Place your biscuits on parchment paper, flatten a little and cut into at least 9 pieces each. They will puff up a bit in the soup so if you want smaller dumplings just cut into smaller pieces.

Place your biscuits in your crock pot and stir slowly. Cook on high an additional hour. About halfway through slowly stir.
