3 chicken vol au vent recipes

Classic French chicken vol-au-vents: flaky puff pastry shells filled with cubed chicken in a creamy sherry-laced white sauce. Elegant, freezer-friendly, and ready in 40 minutes.

This is such a fun recipe. I made an entree Vol Au Vent for a recent garden party with this chicken filling, filled the small puff pastry baskets with it. Not only it looked nice and elegant, it also tasted amazingly delicious. A great pick!

Homemade vol au vent shells made from puff pastry shaped around a foil ball for a hollow center. Fill with chicken, seafood, or mushroom sauce for an elegant French appetizer.
