Chicken Hazelnut Quenelles
2 chicken breasts, skin and bones removed
1 salt and pepper
2 eggs
1 tbs. butter, softened
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup hazelnuts, skins removed, and chopped
2 cup chicken stock
Instructions: In a food processor place the chicken breasts, salt, and pepper.
Pure them until a smooth consistency is achieved. Add the eggs one at a time and
blend them in well. Add the butter and blend it in. With the food processor
still running, slowly add the heavy cream so that it is mixed in well. In a
medium bowl place the pureed chicken mixture. Add the hazelnuts and mix them in.
Place the mousse in the refrigerator so that it chills.
Remove the chilled mousse and, using 2 spoons, form it into 12 egg-shaped
quenelles. Place the chicken stock in a medium saucepan and heat it on medium
high until it almost reaches a boil. Place the quenelles in the stock and cook
them for 3 minutes. Turn them once during the cooking process.
