Chicken Puffs

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"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."

[Lightly Toasted]

Nice idea, and it's a pretty dish, but olives and the pickle relish killed this for us. It didn't taste at all like I thought it would.
