Creamed Chicken on Puff Pastry

[@maryandrews4097]

Love tarragon with chicken. In the UK these treats are known as volovents and are mostly served in miniature versions as canapes. Because they are very small, the bechamel is quite highly flavoured and the ingredients limited, usually mushroom plus maybe ham added to the chicken, all finely chopped. Or they may be fishy as you suggest, i.e., crab, salmon, etc. They would be a nice addition to one of your delightful cocktail parties, which sound great. I'm not much of a fan of cocktails and tend to stick to gin and tonic. You might be amused to know that I once stayed at a motel in Boothbay Harbour, Maine and when I asked for a G&T at cocktail hour, the proprietor said, "You must be a limey" to which I confessed. He responded, "Do you know how to make a steak and kidney pudding?". I admitted that I certainly did, to which he replied that he had stayed in Bermuda where he chose to have steak and kidney pudding every day! The mind boggles at the thought of consuming heroic quantities of S & K pudding in the climate of the Carribbean but interesting to note this persisting relic of colonialism! I do so enjoy your videos, giving really clear instructions at an unhurried pace, with lots of background information; please don't respond to any pressure to tidy them up!

What a cool recipe! So simple but so elegant! I think I will definitely try it w some lobster 🦞❣❣

[@myheartisinjapan3184]

Another delicious recipe! Kevin, I just received your cookbook. I can’t get over how beautifully done it is. I’m sure I’ll be enjoying cooking these recipes for my family for years to come. Such beautiful illustrations too. Thank you.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

I'm so glad you like the cookbook! Thank you so much.

[@AvaT42]

I will definitely try this dish! It looked absolutely delicious!😍. I liked the tips of other things to try in the sauce too

[@avabishop753]

Kevin thanks for another great video. I can't wait to try this very simple but classy looking dish. You are my favorite chef. P.S. I'm still using my yeast and wheat flour that I bought from your referral in Illinois.

[@mariongould4173]

Definitely going to make this...delish

[@emiliagamboni6644]

Wow!! that looks delicious!! I am sure they are....I will have to try them!!! I love the recopies that you share!!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Thank you so much, Emilia!

[@rvnana6606]

Thanks for showing the frozen pastries. I always wanted to try them and will now that you showed me how to do them. Thanks.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

The shells are both delicious and versatile. You can fill them with creamed veggies, as I did, or use them to hold sweet treats like strawberries and softly-whipped cream. Enjoy!

[@KS-ts3le]

Pleasure to watch as usual

[@gregorycalzada5264]

KEVIN UR THE MAGIC MAN

[@janicek9399]

Another delicious recipe, thank you so much! Stay safe!

[@vickynay9863]

This looks absolutely delicious! I am going to try this! I just used some canned pandemic chicken to make chicken patties.

[@gloriarangott8803]

"Gennies" are vital to maintaining a sense of security during highly difficult times..like hurricanes, blizzards, and lockdowns

[@jelsner5077]

I bought some frozen puff pastry (the sheets)when the pandemic started, too. I should use those up!

[@drawitout]

Looks delicious.

[@artfulcookingwithdawn9000]

Thanks for this video Kevin... very chicken pot pie vibes. I think I will make this over toasted baguette since I have some of that but not the puff pastry. As an aside, I need to get some of those shells- they look simple and elegant... a pandemic buy that is still in my freezer unused is filo dough... I have no idea about using that one still. THX for a canned chicken save :-)

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

The shells are terrific to have on hand, as you can put just about anything in them. Thank you for watching the video!

[@veevee111]

Mr Potato Head is watching your every move, Kevin 😄. Sorry, not sorry about eating those mini tops? Those puffs turned out great without them 👍 thanks for sharing.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

The tops would have made a cute "garnish" for the filled shells. Too bad I ate all of 'em!

[@maryusa8526]

I would have eaten them also 😂

[@DorothyRInman]

My fave

[@astriddsarangomuneton827]

So good 👌💌

[@maryusa8526]

OMY! This turned into an elegant dish. Bon appetite! Wonder why I didn't find your channel sooner? I'm having time warp issues ☺

[@wendypacheco7438]

Is that how to say VEGAN properly? I've never heard it said like that before. It's interesting. 😊 This is garlic powder..shows onion powder... I love you already, Kevin! You have a new subscriber! I like unedited videos and being able to see the whole process.

[@kailynnzhou16]

Never see that kind of puff pastry shells, not sure if I can find it in my country. Anyway, the food looks delicious😋

[@susannebell7729]

Tonight’s dinner!

[@Dina-md3ji]

This rrecipe worked out brilliantly I think they might also be known as vol au vents but sometimes puff pastries is enough they looked delicious and I didn't mind the dribbling down the sides at all no one cares about fastidiousness when fam8shed

[@heatherkennedy9973]

yum!! :)

[@pamelafitzpatrick9048]

Shredded jackfruit or shredded hearts of palm would work for a vegan version. You would also need vegan puff pastry.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Thank you for the vegan ideas, Pamela! The puff pastry I used -- from Pepperidge Farm -- is vegan.

[@pamelafitzpatrick9048]

@@kevinleejacobs1364 You’re welcome! I’m transitioning from vegetarian to vegan. 😊

[@MelaniaT-r6m]

This is good filled with shrimp newburg.

[@lauriesue2244]

Gardein Chicken Strips are vegan and would work well in this.

[@valerieslater-t1v]

Vegans could always add mushroom or asparagus, something like that...

[@doloresboule7135]

Canned salmon

[@DorothyRInman]

I want it thicker

[@gregorycalzada5264]

😯😯😯

[@DorothyRInman]

Don’t ever edit

[@DorothyRInman]

How about simply not being vegan
