Chicken and Dumplings in the Crock pot

Chicken and Dumplings in the crockpot

3 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you can throw them in frozen even)
1 chopped onion (I've never used - oops!)
2 Tbl. butter
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 jar homestyle classic chicken gravy
1 can of chicken broth (I do 1 and 1/2 water and 2 bouillon)
2 cans of tube biscuits

Put chicken in the crock pot, put everything else in on top of that except the biscuits. Let it cook on high for 4 - 6 hours. Cut biscuits in halves or fourths and place in crockpot. Push under the broth. Return lid and let it cook for another 30 min. or so on high. Make sure the middle ones are done before you serve. I stir it some where in there to be sure they get done.

Super easy!! Super tasty!

Cooked Macaroni
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
3 cups milk
2 beaten eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
1 tsp salt
Pinch of black pepper

Kelly's Notes: I made the Crockpot Mac-N-Cheese. It was good but I added some garlic powder, mostly cooked chopped up chicken breast and broccoli to make it a full meal. Very good. Everyone liked it, especially the kids and it was very easy.
