I created this out of necessity for something different and something easy to eat at work!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Super easy and super tasty! The puff pastry is wonderfully flaky once baked. The shredded chicken filling is super tasty. Enjoy these for lunch, dinner, or a light snack. Easy to make, try experimenting with your favorite fillings.
