Cool puffs. , For filling, in a large bowl, combine the chicken, celery and olives. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir into chicken mixture. Fill puffs just before serving.

Steps:

• Take your rotisserie chicken apart, using a fork to make strands.
• In a bowl mix the chicken, the celery, the almonds, the walnuts, and the green apple together.
• Add the sour cream and mayo, as well as the twist of lemon juice, preferably fresh. Incorporate the salt and pepper.
• Mix it together with your hands until all of your ingredients have been perfectly combined.
• With your hands, form palm size balls. They should be easy to manipulate and all of the ingredients should stick together, if they don't you can add a little more sour cream so they will hold up. You should end up with four balls (the size of tennis balls approximately).
• Refrigerate over night. (If you can't, try to leave it at least a couple of hours in the fridge).

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing mix and chicken. Form the mixture into a ball.
• On a cutting board or a piece of wax paper, spread the chopped pecans. Roll the ball in the pecans until it is fully coated. Wrap the ball in plastic and chill for at least one hour.

Steps:

• For the soup: Cut whole chicken into quarters or breasts into 2 pieces. Place the chicken into a stockpot and fill the stockpot with water to cover chicken. Bring the stockpot to a boil. Skim the top of the water. Add the vegetables and seasonings. Turn heat down and let simmer for approximately 1 1/2 hours or until tender.
• For the Matzo Balls: Separate the yolks from the whites and mix the yolks with chicken fat (or oil). Mix matzo meal, salt and soup stock together. Beat egg whites to soft peaks. Mix together the yolk mixture and the matzo meal. Fold the egg whites into the matzo mixture and refrigerate for 40 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and make heaping tablespoon size balls. Boil in salt water for about 40 minutes.
• Strain the soup, reserving the chicken (for the chicken salad) and the carrots. Place the matzo balls into the strained soup. Serve the matzo ball soup with the carrots.
• For the chicken salad: Mix chicken, eggs and mayonnaise together. The amount of mayonnaise may vary depending on the amount of chicken. Season with garlic powder and salt and pepper, to taste.
