CHICKEN CREAM CHEESE PUFFS

Chicken Cream Cheese Puffs image

Seasoned chicken, cream cheese, and onion in a puff pastry. Simple base recipe that is easy to adjust to your liking. I usually boil chicken with a bay leaf, onion salt and garlic salt, then shred it. You may also cube it, buy pre-cooked, etc. This isn't anything fancy and may be too plain for your taste, so I really suggest having fun with it!
