Steps:
- Note: I could not get large vol-au-vent cases and used medium ones, they are just too small you can't fit enough filling in so there is too much pastry. For photo purposes I didn't overfill, but if this size is all you can get I suggest over stuffing and pouring extra filling and sauce over the top when dishing out. It doesn't look as pretty but you get a good ratio of filling to pastry and it still tastes delicious. The quantity of filling is for large cases and works well, but is to much for such small cases (hence over stuff). I used 2 cases for myself but gave 3 to my hubby.
- Heat oil in a pan and add onion and garlic, cook until onion softens, add mushrooms and cook until soft. Set aside.
- Wipe pan clean and add some more oil add seasoned breasts and cook both sides until cooked through. Remove and chop chicken into chunks. Set to one side.
- Pour milk in a pan with stock and heat. Add a little water to cornflour mix and pour half of the liquid into the milk, stir until mixture thickens slightly.
- Add wine, Dijon mustard, cayenne and cream stir to combine, add the rest of the cornflour and stir until mixture thickens.
- Return mushrooms, onion and chicken to cream mixture, add the thyme and avocado and stir in gently to combine. Keep hot until serving.
- Place vol-au-vent cases on an oven tray. Bake in a moderate oven about 5 Min's or until heated through.
- To serve place cases on plate and spoon filling into them. I served mine with honeyed carrots and buttery garlic spinach.

[email protected]The filling was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and the vol-au-vents turned out really dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

[email protected]I was a bit skeptical about making my own vol-au-vents, but they were actually really easy. And the filling was so good! I used a combination of chicken, mushrooms, and spinach.

[email protected]These were so easy to make and they turned out perfect! I used a store-bought puff pastry and they still came out delicious.

[email protected]Made this recipe last night and it was a hit! The chicken, avocado, and mushroom filling was creamy and flavorful, and the vol-au-vents were flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this again.
