Additionally, adding milk, cream, or cheese to the filling can help create a creamy texture and prevent dryness.

Additionally, the humidity in your environment may have contributed to the chewiness of the Christmas crack.

Chicken and pastry, on the other hand, is made with a flaky, pie-like pastry crust that is baked on top of the chicken filling. Additionally, chicken and pastry often includes vegetables like carrots and peas, while chicken and dumplings may only include herbs and spices for flavor.
