Poach the chicken breasts in chicken broth and sherry for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Cool and drain. Split chicken breasts in half lengthwise and wrap each piece in a thin slice of ham; coat it with a thin layer of Dijon style mustard. Sprinkle with tarragon and wrap in cheese. Place thawed puff pastry shells on a lightly floured surface; roll out each into a 4 inch circle. Wrap each chicken breast with a pastry circle. Wet edges with water, crimp and seal. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serves 6.
