Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 chicken breasts (grilled, baked, or rotisserie)

2 celery stalks, finely chopped

1 cup red grapes, quartered

½ onion, minced

½ cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning

Additional salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pastry: Unfold thawed puff pastry. Cut into 36 small squares. Place on lined baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400°F for 12–14 minutes until golden and puffed. Let cool and slice each square horizontally.
  2. Cook chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper, then grill or bake until cooked through. Cool and chop into small pieces.
  3. Make chicken salad: In a bowl, combine chicken, celery, grapes, onion, mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning, and additional salt and pepper. Mix until creamy.
  4. Assemble: Spoon salad onto bottom halves of puff pastry squares. Cap with tops and secure with decorative toothpicks, if desired.
  5. Serve immediately, or refrigerate up to 1 day before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Substitute grapes with cranberries or apples for variation.
  • Keep salad and pastry separate until serving to avoid sogginess.
  • Assembled puffs are best enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
  • Puff pastry can be baked ahead and frozen.
