These are a favorite party food for my family. The problem is keeping everyone out of them till the party. They are a little time intensive in that it takes time to make up a bunch, but well worth it.
Chicken Puffs
Oven 400
2 Tbl. butter
dash of salt
1/4 Cup all purpose flour
1 egg
1/4 shredded swiss cheese
1/4 Cup boiling water
Melt butter in 1/4 cup boiling water. Add flour and a dash of salt. Stir vigorously. Remove from heat and cool slightly and add egg, beat till smooth. Stir in cheese. Drop 1 tsp. size mounds onto greased cookie sheets. Bake 20 minutes. Cool and fill with chicken salad.
After they are cool slice them in half and place a small spoon of chicken salad on puff and replace top for a little puff sandwich. You want to use a mild flavored chicken salad so you don't overwhelm the delicate flavor of the puff.
This is a very simple chicken salad. perfect for the puffs.
Chicken Salad
I boil a few chicken breasts in salted water. I grind them up in the food processor and place in a bowl. I add mayonnaise and sweet pickle relish. Thats it. It works great with these puffs.
