Chicken Avocado and Mushroom Stuffed Vol-Au-Vents image

This is so simple to make and very yummy, I usually serve this in the really large vol-au-vent shells, but I could not get any, so I had to serve in medium ones. These are not ideal as you can not get much filling into them, I ended up pouring some of the filling over after taking a photo, so we were not eating just pastry cases with no filling, which is ok but does not look the most appealing. I usually buy the 12.5cm cases just so you can get an idea of the size compared to the ones in the photo.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (12 1/2 cm) pastry vol-au-vent cases (read note above with regards to the ones used in the photo.)
olive oil
700 g chicken breasts, cut into chunks
3 garlic cloves, crushed
300 g mushrooms, sliced thinly
1 leek, sliced thinly
1 (60 g) packet cream of chicken soup (The one I buy makes up 1 liter)
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken stock or 1 cup vegetable stock
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 large avocado, chopped

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Heat oil in a pan cook chicken in batches until browned, remove and set to one side.
  • Heat a little more oil in the same pan, add leeks, garlic and mushrooms, cook until leeks and mushrooms have softened, return chicken to pan and removed from heat.
  • In a saucepan whisk soup powder with milk and stock, bring to the boil to thicken, stir in tarragon. (my packet mix requires one more cup of liquid than I use, so that I end up with a thicker version than a soup, to use as the sauce, so bear this in mind.).
  • Pour soup mix into pan with chicken and mushroom mix, stir to combine, gently stir in avocado.
  • Place spoonfuls of chicken mix into pastry cases, bake in oven for about 5-8 Min's until hot.
  • I served our with honeyed carrots and buttered spinach.

The vol-au-vents were a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I'm allergic to mushrooms, so I substituted chopped zucchini in the filling. It turned out great!

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I loved these vol-au-vents. The avocado and chicken really balanced out the flavor of the mushrooms.

These were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it. They looked so impressive on the table and they tasted even better.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped bacon to the filling, which gave it a nice smoky flavor.

The filling was flavorful, but the vol-au-vents were a bit soggy. I think I'll try baking them for a few minutes before filling them next time.
