Ingredients
1 small, cooked chicken breast (see recipe)
1 ½ cups leftover chicken, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
½ cup chicken broth, fresh or canned
½ cup heavy cream
Salt, if desired
Freshly ground pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried
24 cream puffs (see recipe)
Preparation
- Step 1
Remove the skin and bones from the chicken breast and discard. Cut the meat into very small cubes. There should be about one and one-half cups. Set aside.
- Step 2
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. When blended, add the broth, stirring rapidly with the whisk. When thickened and smooth, stir in the cream.
- Step 3
Add salt and pepper to taste, nutmeg, cayenne and tarragon. Let simmer, stirring, about two minutes.
- Step 4
Add the chicken and stir. Bring to the boil.
- Step 5
Slice off the tops of all the cream puffs. Spoon an equal portion of the mixture into each cream-puff bottom. Replace the tops and serve.
