   • Ensure all ingredients are well blended, then refrigerate the mixture until ready to use.

2. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when you’re done preparing the pastry.

3. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

   • Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.
   • Once thawed, unfold the puff pastry sheets and either cut them into 2-inch round circles or roll them out to approximately 1/4 inch thickness.

4. Bake the Pastry:

   • Place the pastry circles or rolled-out sheets on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown and puffs up beautifully.

5. Assemble the Appetizers:

   • Once baked, allow the pastry to cool slightly before handling.
   • Carefully cut off the tops of the pastry circles and gently scoop out a bit of the soft pastry inside to create a hollow center.
   • Fill each pastry with a generous amount of the prepared chicken and mushroom mixture.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Replace the pastry tops over the filled mixture.
   • Arrange the appetizers on a serving platter and present them to your guests while still warm.
   • Alternatively, you can serve them at room temperature, as the filling is delicious either way.
