Chicken Vol Au Vents

I first used this recipe as an entree for two on valentines day. it was given to me by a family friend. you can also use a pack of 6 or 12 mini vol-au-vents as appetizers. since then i have made them again and i didn't have tarragon so i used sage. so i think you can put your favourite spice instead of the tarragon as the sage worked well. I didn't have cream so i used cream cheese. i had a question regarding vol-au-vent cases and after researching on many web pages and even posting a question in the forum. i found out that vol-au-vent cases are the same thing as puff pastry shells. so if you are using puff pastry shells please follow the instructions on the pack. as in australia the vol-au-vent cases come on the shelf (pre-cooked, ready to use) not the freezer.
