They are typically filled to the brim with a rich and creamy filling of chicken, seafood and\/or assorted vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Dating back to sometime around the early 19th century in Paris, the first vol-au-vent is often credited to famed French chef Marie-Antoine Car\u00eame. Vol-au-vent closely resembles the slightly smaller, almost bite-sized\u00a0<em>bouch\u00e9e \u00e0 la reine<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Vol-au-Vent<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Frozen puff pastry:<\/strong> Vol-au-vents are but one of many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/must-try-puff-pastry-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/must-try-puff-pastry-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">puff pastry recipes<\/a>\u00a0we love.

Try heart-shaped vol-au-vents for Valentine&#8217;s Day, star-shaped pastry shells for Christmas, or Pumpkin vol-au-vents for Halloween. The possibilities are almost endless.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chicken Vol-au-Vent<\/h2>\n<p>Vol-au-vents are best enjoyed immediately once filled; the pastry shells get soggy if they sit for too long. Unfilled, however, the vol-au-vent shells and filling can be stored separately for up to three to four days. Store the vol-au-vent filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Store the unfilled pastry shells at room temperature wrapped tightly in storage wrap.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you reheat chicken vol-au-vent?<\/h2>\n<p>To reheat vol-au-vents, gently warm the filling on the stovetop or in the microwave until it&#8217;s heated through. Then, warm the pastry shells in a 350\u00b0 oven for six to eight minutes or until they&#8217;re heated through. Fill the shells and serve.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze chicken vol-au-vent?<\/h2>\n<p>While baked or unbaked vol-au-vent pastry shells freeze beautifully, vol-au-vent fillings should not be frozen due to their dairy content. For this reason, we do not recommend freezing <em>filled<\/em> vol-au-vents. Baked vol-au-vent pastry shells can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. Reheat them in the oven, but be aware that they may not crisp up quite as well as when they&#8217;re fresh.<\/p>\n<h2>Vol-au-Vent Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1988887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Creamy-Chicken-Vol-au-Vent_FT24_189771_JR_0305_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Creamy Chicken Vol Au Vent Ft24 189771 Jr 0305 3\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why did my puff pastry not rise?<\/h3>\n<p>If your puff pastry failed to rise, it is likely that it was too warm when placed into the oven.

Brush the egg wash over each piece of pastry, then chill them for 15 minutes. Bake until they're dark golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove them promptly from the oven and cool them on a wire rack. Editor's Tip: A quick chill in the refrigerator before baking the pastry helps maximize their puff. When working with puff pastry (and classic butter pie pastry), you want the fat in the dough to be as cold as possible. As the pastry bakes, the cold butter in the dough releases steam, which is what creates those air pockets and flaky layers we all love.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Creamy-Chicken-Vol-au-Vent_TOHVS24_189771_BL_04_23_3.jpg?fit=700,1024"},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Cook the bacon","text":"Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it's crisp.

Just make sure to steal one tablespoon of fat from the baking tray for the next step, as it will help with sauteing the vegetables and flavoring the filling.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Creamy-Chicken-Vol-au-Vent_TOHVS24_189771_BL_04_23_4.jpg?fit=700,1024"},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Make the filling","text":"Discard all but one tablespoon of the bacon drippings.
