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!
