CREAMY CHICKEN VOL-AU-VENT
My friends and I have been getting together for "ladies lunches" for years. These vol-au-vents are the perfect no-fuss fancy food; they look complicated, but are actually simple and fun to make. Whenever I think of good friends and good company, I think of these savory pastries. -Shauna Havey, Roy, Utah

CHICKEN VOL-AU-VENTS
I first used this recipe as an entree for two on Valentines Day. It was given to me by a family friend. You can also use a pack of 6 or 12 mini vol-au-vents as appetizers. Since then I have made them again and I didn't have tarragon so I used sage. So I think you can put your favourite spice instead of the tarragon as the sage worked well. I didn't have cream so I used cream cheese. I had a question regarding vol-au-vent cases and after researching on many web pages and even posting a question in the forum. I found out that vol-au-vent cases are the same thing as puff pastry shells. So if you are using puff pastry shells please follow the instructions on the pack. As in Australia the vol-au-vent cases come on the shelf (pre-cooked, ready to use) not the freezer.

CHICKEN AVOCADO AND MUSHROOM STUFFED VOL-AU-VENTS
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.

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.
VOL-AU-VENT WITH CHICKEN, MUSHROOMS AND PEPPER
One of the favorites of my children. It's a really versatile recipe and feel free to adapt it to your ingredients. If you don't get vol-au-vent cases use fillo and the instruction in the note at the end of the directions.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven at 160°C.
- Prepare all your ingredients ready.
- Heat in the oven the vol-au-vent about 12 minutes (if you are not ready with the filling after this time reduce the heat).
- Fry the onions in the margarine for 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat, add the chicken and cook until golden, about 8 minutes.
- Add 1dl wine, herbs, mushrooms, preserved pepper and cream.
- Combine corn starch with water and the remaining wine, then add to the chicken and stir until the sauce thickens. If it is too thick add some tablespoons of water or wine.
- Season it with salt, pepper, soy sauce and Worcestershire at your taste.
- Fill into the vol-au-vent cases and serve hot with some vegetables.
- Note: sometimes I add some vegetables (not only the mushrooms!) like carrots or peas directly to this dish.
- Note: alternative to vol-au-vent cases are fillo baskets. Instructions: Cut fillo sheets into quarters and layer diagonally in greased ramekins, spraying or brushig with olive oil in between layers - 4 squares for each ramekin dish if the sheets are very thin (like fillo for baklava) or 2 squares if they are thicker (like fillo for boureki). Spray or brush again before cooking at 250°F/180°C for in the oven for more or less 8-10 minutes.
- Note: For a vegetarian version skip the chicken and use more veggies. For example the double quantity of mushrooms. Chanterelle mushrooms are wonderful for this recipe (see photo).

CHICKEN VOL-AU-VENTS WITH SWEET AND SOUR SALSA
Classy enough for a dinner party but simple and quick enough for any occasion. Has an interesting contrast of hot versus cold and sweet & sour versus savory tastes. The salsa and vol-au-vents can be prepared in advance making it a quick one to pop in the oven as guests arrive. Please note the preparation time does not include the 30 minutes of refrigeration time for the salsa. The quantity of chicken and cheese will vary a little bit depending on the size of the cases, so fill them by eye using the directions rather than bothering to measure them out.

Steps:

- Bake filled vol-au-vents case on a baking sheet for 10-15 minutes until cheese has melted, keeping an eye on it to make sure the vol-au-vent cases don't burn.
