Make puff pastry bowls according to directions below.
Bake puff pastry bowls at 400 for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack with custard cup in pastry. Remove custard cup, and cool pastry on wire rack.
Combine bell pepper and next 6 ingredients; set aside.
Combine salt, pepper, and paprika in a large bowl; add chicken pieces, tossing to coat evenly. Spread in a lightly greased 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, stirring to coat.
Bake at 450F for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring once. Stir in vegetable mixture; bake 25 more minutes or until browned, stirring twice. Spoon into pastry bowls; garnish, if desired. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
Rules for Roasting uRoasting chicken at a high temperature (450F) for a short time, then lowering the temperature for the remaining cooking time seals in the juices and keeps the chicken moist and tender. uWhile you can also roast a broiler-fryer with good results, chickens specifically for roasting are labeled "roasting broilers." These birds generally weigh more and are meatier and more succulent. If you are roasting a broiler-fryer (which normally weighs approximately 3 pounds), decrease baking time by about 45 minutes. uLet roasted chicken stand for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This standing time "sets" the juices and makes for a more flavorful bird. uRoast chicken on a rack in a broiler pan so fat can drip off and away from the bird.
Rival restaurant-style presentation with the convenience of puff pastry sheets.
1) Invert 4 (6-ounce) custard cups on a lightly greased baking sheet. Lightly grease outsides of cups.
2) Roll each pastry sheet into an 11-inch square. Cut in half diagonally.
3) Mold each portion of pastry around outsides of cups; allow edges to extend from bowls onto baking sheet. Trim edges of dough to form equal triangles, using the shortest point as a guide.
