Swiss Cheese Chicken Puffs image

My neighborhood has a progressive dinner before Christmas each year, and every house provides a course. These delightful puffs were served one year to everyone's enjoyment. The cheesy flavor and creamy texture of the chicken salad mixture are wonderful inside the tender puffs. -Donna Kittredge, Westborough, Massachusetts

The chicken puffs were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter or oil to the recipe next time.
