Flaky choux puffs split and stuffed with a creamy chicken salad make an elegant little bite that feels far fancier than the effort involved. Swiss cheese, celery, and a whisper of pimento and Sauterne give the filling richness and a pop of color. Serve them at a shower, luncheon, or cocktail hour and expect requests for the recipe.
