Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the pastry into 36 squares, about 3 inches each. Brush each square with melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
  2. Arrange the puff pastry squares on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes until they puff up and turn golden brown. Let them cool, then gently slice each puff in half.
  3. Prepare the chicken salad by grilling the chicken until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Allow to cool completely, chop into pieces, and mix with celery, grapes, onion, and mayonnaise.
  4. Assemble the puffs by scooping 2-3 tablespoons of chicken salad onto the bottom half of each pastry square. Press the top half over the filling and secure with a toothpick if needed.
  5. Optionally sprinkle with extra seasoning or fresh herbs for garnish before serving.
