I'm allergic to spinach, so I substituted kale in this recipe. It worked out great!

I was disappointed with these puffs. The filling was bland and the puff pastry was soggy.

These puffs are a great way to use up leftover chicken and spinach. They're also a great appetizer to serve at a potluck or party.

These puffs are delicious! The chicken and spinach filling is flavorful and the cheese is gooey and melted. The puff pastry is flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making these again.

These cheesy chicken spinach appetizer puffs are a hit! They're so easy to make and always disappear quickly at parties. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when guests arrive.
