CHICKEN A LA KING RECIPE WITH PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Remove the puff pastry sheet from the freezer at least 60 minutes before making the shells.
• Preheat the oven 20 minutes prior to baking the shells.
• Lightly flour a clean work surface and lay out the puff pastry sheet. Roll it out until it is about 12"x 12". Cut 9 equal squares.
• Place 6 of the squares into every other cup on the muffin tin and press in to form a cup. Place one cupcake liner on top of each puff pastry cup and fill each one with 2-3 Tablespoons of dry beans. This keeps the pastry from puffing up when baked. Once the 6 are done, you will have room to do the other three the same way.
• Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove the cupcake liners with the beans and continue to cook for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the puff pastry shells and place on a cooling rack until use.
• Slice the mushrooms into about ¼" slices. Cube the chicken into bite size pieces (see post if you are using raw chicken instead of cooked), measure out the other ingredients. Mix the salt and pepper together in a small container.
• Place 4 Tablespoons of butter into the inner pot of the Ninja Foodi or into a large skillet on the stove. Heat on medium-high or high until melted and sizzling. Place one layer of mushrooms into the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Flip the mushrooms, and sauté another 2-3 minutes. Push the browned mushrooms over to the side, add the second layer and repeat. Season with ¼ of the salt and pepper blend
• Sprinkle 4 Tablespoon of flour over the mushrooms and stir. If you can see flour, then you don't have enough butter for the flour to absorb. Add 1-2 Tablespoons of extra butter in this instance and stir. Once you can no longer see flour, cook for 3 minutes.
• Deglaze the pot with the chicken stock and sherry, stirring frequently. You will see the liquid start to thicken.
• Add the cubed chicken, frozen peas, pimentos and stir.
• Add the half & half, heavy cream, and ½ of the remaining salt and pepper. Stir and taste the sauce. Add the remaining salt and pepper if needed. Add the nutmeg and stir.
• Serve over the puff pastry shells & Enjoy!
