How to Make Chicken Liver Vol Au Vents

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken livers and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the livers from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened.
Stir in the cooked chicken livers, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Spoon the chicken liver mixture into the prepared vol-au-vent pastry shells.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately.
