A variant known as "chicken and pastry" or simply "chicken pastry" features wide, flat noodles rolled from biscuit dough.
 Where such a distinction is made, it is sometimes considered a different dish from "chicken and dumplings", which is known for small balls of dough rather than flat strips.
In the Appalachian region of the United States, this preparation is called chicken and slicks.
The Pennsylvania Dutch version is called bott boi.
Chicken and dumpling soup is another variation, and is very popular in the Midwest.
