Chicken a La King in Puff Paste image

This recipe, is easy, and uses store-bought Vol au Vent shells, bake them according to package directions while the sauce is being made. It comes from Rachael Ray, who I really love, and own many of her early books. I cook from them often.

I've made this dish several times now, and it's always a hit. It's easy to make, and it's always delicious. I love that I can use leftover chicken or turkey to make it.
