I promise that you will love this recipe for these savory chicken puffs. They are the perfect bite-sized snack which can be served as an appetizer at a dinner party, an afternoon snack, or even as a side to any meal. Try this recipe and make your own savory chicken puffs.

I recently hosted a dinner party for a couple of family friends and coworkers of mine. My husband was in charge of making the entrees for the party, while I took care of all of the sides and appetizers. I really wanted to try a new fun recipe for the party so I searched the internet for a new and fun  recipe. When I found these savory chicken puffs, I knew they were perfect and that all my guests would love them. I ran by the grocery store that morning and gathered all of the ingredients I would need to make them. When I got back to my kitchen, I was surprised how easy they were to make, and how good they turned out at the end. The guests arrived at my house and I began to bring out the appetizers. I was unsure if anyone else would like the chicken puffs but within minutes the first plate was entirely gone and everyone loved them. Now, this recipe is one of my favorites due to the success I had when I mad them for my first time.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 1 cup water (room temp)
• 1 stick butter
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 cup flour
• 4 large eggs

For the Sauce:

• (2) .5 oz tins of chicken
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1 and 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1/2 tbsp mustard
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp finely chopped cilantro

Step 1:

Start making the dough by heating the water and butter in a pot until it reaches a light simmer. Then, turn off the heat and mix in the flour and then add in the eggs and sugar.

Step 2:

Using a pipping bag, create small dollops of the dough before coating in egg wash, and putting in the oven set at 375°F  for 30-35 minutes.

Step 3:

Create the filling by mixing the chicken, salt, pepper, mayo, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and cilantro together in a pan over a warm stove. Once completely mixed and warm, fill your puffs with the chicken.

I seriously recommend trying this recipe as they were a huge success at my dinner party and I now plan on making them all the time. For a full how-to, check out the video below!
