Chicken a La King in Puff Paste image

This recipe, is easy, and uses store-bought Vol au Vent shells, bake them according to package directions while the sauce is being made. It comes from Rachael Ray, who I really love, and own many of her early books. I cook from them often.

I made this for my family and they loved it! The chicken was moist and tender, and the puff pastry was flaky and buttery.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough salt and pepper. Overall, it was a good recipe and I would make it again.
