Ingredients
  

For the Pastry

  • 1 cup celery Adds crunch; substitute with cucumbers for a different texture.
  • 1 cup grapes Provides sweetness; swap with apples or dried cranberries.
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion Red onions preferred for milder taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Thaw the store-bought puff pastry overnight in the refrigerator. On the day of making, let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Roll it out and cut into 3-inch squares.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush each pastry square lightly with melted butter and sprinkle salt on top. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Gather your chicken, celery, grapes, onion, mayonnaise, and seasonings. In a large bowl, combine the cooled chicken with the other ingredients and mix until well coated.
  4. Once the pastry has cooled, place 2-3 tablespoons of chicken salad filling on each square. Press another square on top to create a sandwich-like structure, securing with toothpicks if desired.
  5. Arrange your assembled Healthy Chicken Salad Puffs on a platter for serving. Enjoy them while warm.

Notes

Allow cooked chicken to cool completely before mixing with mayonnaise for best texture. Use uniform chopping for easy filling, and avoid overfilling pastry shells.
