Hi I don’t see how the puff pastry was prepared did you cut out cicles first then add the topping then place in the oven
Dina says
Hi, the puff pastry circles were actually pushed in that shape. If you look at the ingredient image at the top of the post, you can see what they look like on the package.
Nancy says
I’m assuming the chicken should be cooked ahead of time,

Hi Nancy 🙂 For this recipe, I used shredded chicken which was precooked. If you wanted to use the chicken you have at home then make sure it is cooked ahead of time. I hope that helps 🙂
Mike says
Why are they called mushroom puff pastry when there is more chicken in the recipe than mushrooms?
simplyhomecooked says
Hi Mike, this is an older recipe. It was just a name I gave it. But I totally see what you mean 🙂
