Old Fashioned Chicken Salad in Puff Pastry Shells image

Easy, good, and elegant. Mom made this chicken salad and served it in mini-pie shells. I like to use the frozen puff pastry, instead. Probably because her pie crust was so much better than mine.... :) I greatly appreciate the photos shared by Kathleen Duffin. So much better than my pictures. THANKS!

I love that this recipe is a healthier take on the classic chicken salad. The use of Greek yogurt and whole wheat puff pastry shells makes it a lighter, yet still satisfying dish. I also appreciate that the recipe includes a variety of vegetables, ma

I'm not the most experienced cook, but this recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! The chicken salad was creamy and flavorful, and the puff pastry shells were perfectly flaky. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of the flaky puff pastry shells and the creamy, flavorful chicken salad was divine. My guests raved about it, and I've already had several requests for the recipe. I highly recommend this
