Curried Chicken Puffs

Everytime I make these, they are everyone's favourite new treat! No one will be disappointed! I have requests for these all the time.

Both shells and filling can be made ahead and assembled when needed. The shells can be frozen for up to a month, then thawed at room temperature an hour before filling. The filling can be made up to two days before and refrigerated. Heat the filling gently, and serve immediately in the shells.Submitted by: QUEENYEESH

Curry Turkey, Improvised

A delicious and spicy addition to my repertoire of how to cook chicken or turkey breasts. Nutritional facts based on turkey, but works equally well with chicken. Submitted by: GRADXY

I was afraid this would be too spicy, but was pleasantly surprised. The serving size was a little small (0.5 cup each that was mostly sauce) but a good change from the usual fare. - 8/7/10
