Second-half goals from Maddison and Jamie Vardy saw Leicester end a run of two consecutive defeats and claim their third win of the Premier League season.
“Maddison improves game after game and he scored a fantastic free-kick,” said Puel.
“We didn’t know what he could give at the beginning of the season, he had only played in the Championship, but he has the quality to improve with us.”
Huddersfield took an early lead when Mathias Jorgensen squeezed the ball past Kasper Schmeichel from close range after a flick-on from Laurent Depoitre.
But Leicester hit back with a well-executed counter-attacking goal from Kelechi Iheanacho as Huddersfield committed men forward in search of a second.
The hosts dominated possession after the break and took the lead when Maddison stepped up to fire a free-kick into the top corner from 25 yards after a foul on Nampalys Mendy.
The Foxes then took charge, Vardy rounding off an impressive performance by bursting through on goal before lifting the ball nonchalantly over Terriers goalkeeper Jonas Lossl.
Victory sees Claude Puel’s men move into eighth, while the Terriers drop to the foot of the table.
