Chicken Puffs Recipe #167677

To save time bake the puff pastry shapes in advance, the filling is better if prepared and chilled for about 5 hours or overnight is even better! To make things even easier, use the frozen puff pastry prepared shells in place of the sheets. You may use your own favorite chicken mixture for this if desired. Yield is only estimated.
