Profiteroles with Chicken Filling

*1/2 cup Water

*1/2 cup Butter Flavored Shortening

*1/8 teaspoon Sea Salt

*1/2 cup All-purpose Flour

*2 Eggs

In a sauce pan on medium heat bring the water, shortening and salt to a boil. Then reduce heat and add all the flour all at once and stir, stir, stir.  The dough will form into a stick ball of dough.  Then remove from heat and allow the dough to cool slightly and with a hand mixer beat in 1 egg at a time, beating in each egg completely before adding the next egg.  Mix until dough becomes thick and smooth slightly shiny.

Then with a 1 tablespoon size cookie scoop, scoop 12 scoops of dough onto a half baking sheet lined with parchment or baking mat such as a Silpat.

After scooping dough, use a little water on your finger to press down any pointy spots on dough ball, repeat for each dough ball.

Bake in a preheated 425*F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a golden brown and hollow sound when tapped

Allow the profiteroles to cool on baking sheet. Then slice of the tops and add the chicken filling.

Note:  If not using the profiteroles immediately, which I recommend for best results.  I have covered them with a tea towel overnight and used them the next day and they worked out well too.

I made 2 batches, separately.

2 batches bakes about 36 profiteroles.
