Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces ready-to-bake puff pastry shells (vol-au-vent cases)
  • 300 g chicken breast, cut into small pieces about 10.5 oz
  • 200 g white button mushrooms, sliced about 7 oz
  • 1 piece onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 300 ml chicken broth about 1 ¼ cups
  • 100 ml liquid fresh cream about ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Baking sheet
  • Chef's knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Melt half the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken pieces until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, melt the remaining butter, then add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook until soft and mushrooms have browned slightly.
  4. In a saucepan, melt another tablespoon of butter, sprinkle in the flour, and whisk for about a minute to create a roux.
  5. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps, and cook until thickened.
  6. Stir in the fresh cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for a few minutes.
  7. Add the cooked chicken and mushroom-onion mixture to the sauce, stirring to coat.
  8. Place the puff pastry shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes until warm and crisp.
  9. Remove from oven, fill each shell with the chicken and mushroom mixture, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Feel free to substitute leftover turkey for the chicken or any type of mushrooms for added flavor. For a neat presentation, gently lift the tops of the pastry shells before filling. Store any leftover filling in the fridge for 2-3 days, but avoid filling shells in advance to maintain texture.
