Pour the soup mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.

Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 to 7 hours.

After 4 hours, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using a chicken shredder.

Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir.

Cut the Grand's Southern Homestyle biscuits into quarters using scissors and place them on top of the mixture in the crockpot.

Cover and cook for 30 minutes, then check on the dumplings.

After 30 minutes, push the dumplings down into the broth and let them cook for another 30 minutes.

After a total of 1 hour cooking time for the biscuits, check if they are firm and not doughy.

Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish before serving.
