Southern Chicken And Pastry

"This easy, homemade Chicken and Pastry recipe is Southern comfort food at its best! Some might call the hearty twist on chicken soup "Chicken and Dumplings," but Southern Chicken and Pastry includes thin strips of a basic flour dough, rather than puffy biscuit-like dumplings. Serve a warm bowl with a side salad, green beans, fried okra, fried apples, or a wedge of cornbread for a delicious family-friendly meal! This recipe comes from my friend Sallie's mom, Debbie, who received it from her friend in North Carolina. I've tweaked it a little bit, but the basics remain the same. This easy chicken and pastry is just good old Southern comfort food at its very best. Tender, flavorful, and juicy bone-in chicken pieces cook in broth, and then the same rich broth is used to boil wide, flat strips of pastry. The broth becomes nice and thick (thanks to the extra flour and starch from the dough), resulting in a hearty bowl of goodness that's a nice cross between a soup and a stew. "
