CHICKEN ALA' KING ON PUFF PASTRY SHELL



Chicken Ala' King on Puff Pastry Shell image

Truly fit for a King or Queen when served over a puff pastry shell. I devised this recipe years ago when entertaining the girls from the office. Any leftover mildly seasoned chicken can be used for this recipe. I would suggest baking with the skin on for a fuller flavor or use rotisserie chicken. Cook time does not include time for baking puff pastry. Serve with a side fresh fruit, berries or melon slices. Enjoy!

OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN SALAD IN PUFF PASTRY SHELLS



Old Fashioned Chicken Salad in Puff Pastry Shells image

Easy, good, and elegant. Mom made this chicken salad and served it in mini-pie shells. I like to use the frozen puff pastry, instead. Probably because her pie crust was so much better than mine.... :) I greatly appreciate the photos shared by Kathleen Duffin. So much better than my pictures. THANKS!
