This is what my family has called Chicken Pastry for many generations. I have heard it called Chicken Slick and Chicken and Dumplings but it is all fairly the same dish. Some use Crisco, oil, butter but my Grandma always used lard because that is what she had on hand. Some like them thick while others like the thin. It is all a matter of what you like. Best dish to eat no matter what the weather or season. If you have never tried it you don't know what you are missing. Good food, good company, and a glass of sweet iced tea is all you need to make it an occasion.
