Ingredients

  • 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
  • 8 cups water
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons pepper, divided
  • 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen puff pastry shells
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained

Remove chicken from broth; cool. Remove meat from bones; cut into cubes and set aside. Discard skin and bones.
