1
Bake the pastry shells according to package directions.

(I bake them till they are very golden brown so that the shells don't get too soggy when filled).

While the pastry shells bake, in a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium to medium-high heat.

Stir in the celery, carrots, onion and bay leaf, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
5
Add the red bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
6
Push the vegetables to the side of the pan, add the butter to the pan and melt.
7
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
8
Whisk in the chicken broth, add the chicken and bring to a boil.
9
Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 minutes.
10
Stir in the cream and bring just to a boil, then stir in the asparagus and peas and cook for 2 minutes.
11
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
12
Place 2 hollow pastry shells in each bowl and fill with Chicken a la Queen.
13
Cover with pastry shell tops.
