Lemony Chicken Popover Puff
Popover Puff
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1 cup milk
6 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chicken & Vegetable Filling
2 medium carrots, peeled
1 cup sugar snap peas, cut in half diagonally
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 lemon
1 can (10 1/2 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups diced cooked chicken (12 ounces)
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons All-Purpose Dill Mix
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1. Preheat oven to 450�F. For popover puff, place butter in small
microwave-cooker; microwave, covered, on HIGH 30 seconds or until melted.
Measure 1 tablespoon of the butter into bottom of a deep dish baker; brush over
bottom only. In a bowl, combine remaining butter, milk and eggs. In a bowl, stir
together flour and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture; whisk 1 minute or
until smooth. Pour batter into baker. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature
to 350�F; continue baking 10-15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
2. Meanwhile, prepare chicken and vegetable filling. Using a crinkle cutter, cut
carrots in half lengthwise then crosswise into 1/4-inch slices to measure 1 cup.
Cut snap peas in half. Chop onion. Place carrots, snap peas, onion and butter in
microwave-cooker. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 2-3 minutes or until vegetables
are crisp-tender; set aside.
3. Juice lemon using a juicer to measure 2 tablespoons juice. Finely dice bell
pepper. In clean a bowl, combine lemon juice, bell pepper, soup, chicken and
dill mix; mix well. Microwave on HIGH 4-5 minutes or until hot, stirring once.
Grate cheese. Add cheese and half of the vegetable mixture into filling; mix
gently.
4. Remove puff from oven to cooling rack; let stand 3 minutes or until puff
begins to fall, forming a shell. If necessary, use a paring knife to cut around
sides of puff to loosen from baker.
5. Spoon filling into center of puff. Arrange remaining vegetable mixture around
edges of filling. Slice and serve.
