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

These were easy to make and very tasty. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and they still turned out great.
