Notes
#1: If you don't want to roll puff pastry 2 times then divide your dough into two equal portions and roll half portion thick and half as thin.)
#2: Roll with slow hands otherwise, all your puffs (layers) would be merged together and your puff pastry would be ruined and useless.
#3: Your chicken filling should be cooled completely. Never ever stuff hot filings into puff pastries.
