The Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle, Georgia is famous for their Southern cooking. People will drive from all over the state to eat there. You can find their recipe for chicken and dumplings on their website www.bluewillowinn.com and you can also purchase a copy of their cookbook on-line as well. Needless to say, I gave my wife a copy several years ago...but I think I use it more than her.

I make my chicken and dumplings the easy way and they are really good. First I boil my chicken breasts in a large pot. Take the chicken out and debone it. Cut it into bite sized pieces and put it back into the boiling water. Next I add a stick of butter, salt, pepper, and a little milk. Get that boiling again. Next take the really cheap canned biscuits and cut each one into 4ths. Drop the biscuit pieces into the boiling mixture and cook until they are done. You can tell because they go from being white to a deeper beige color. With this recipe if you find that all your dumplings are gone you can always go back and add more biscuits. Hope you like it. My whole family loves them.
