The chicken vol-au-vent was a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would use a shortcut next time, like using a pre-made puff pastry.

The pastry was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would use a thinner puff pastry next time.

The chicken vol-au-vent was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken vol-au-vent came out perfect. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt and pepper to the chicken filling.
