The 360 minutes of cooking time comes from using a
crock pot to cook the chicken. (you don't have to
do it this way)
In large pot (I use an 8qt.) Boil the chicken
breasts in the chicken broth and water.
Remove the chicken when done and shred with 2
forks, add back to broth. Add cream of chicken
soup and milk, then bring back to boil.
Cut the biscuits into smaller pieces(I use a pizza
cutter) 4 or 6 per biscuit and stir gradually into
boiling broth. Once all the biscuits are in the
broth reduce heat and simmer about 25 minutes,
stirring often.
Add black pepper as desired.

Note to save some time before dinner you can also
put the water, chicken and the chicken broth into
the crockpot on low for 6 hours or so, then shred
the chicken and tramsfer and the remaining
broth/water into a large pot. You may need to add
more broth or water if it cooks out while in the
crock pot. Bring the broth to a rolling boil
before adding dumplings (or you'll have a gummy
mess) and once you begin adding dumplings stir
very frequently. Once all dumplings are added,
then cover and simmer on low.
