I loved this as a party food. It came together easily. I have made them twice now and very much enjoy them, as did my guests I need to be careful next time to ensure that the chiken mix is not too dry and adjust the mayonnaise a little. I guess my breasts were bigger the second time I made these because they were a little dry. The first time I made them they were perfect!

Kittencal, you've done it, again! Another great recipe. I prepared them exactly as posted and they were delicious by themselves. When I placed a dip beside them, they were even better! (In my humble opinion)... I served the puffs with 2 dips, one was ranch, the other was ginger wasabi sauce. (I preferred the ginger, while my husband preferred the ranch.) I never used pastry puffs before and was nervous. ..but it was sooo easy...and they were sooo deliciously light. Oh, I almost forgot..I had about 10 puffs left over, and heated them in the oven the next day, they re-heat very nicely..still a nice light crunch on the outside. Thanks, again, Kittencal!
