Be careful not to overfill the choux puffs, as they might burst in the oven. Also, make sure to handle hot filling and be cautious when using the oven.

1

Prepare the Choux Pastry

In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in 1 cup of water over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat.

2

Add the Eggs

Beat 4 eggs in a separate bowl. Gradually add the beaten eggs to the saucepan, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and glossy. It should have a dropping consistency.

3

Shape and Bake

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a piping bag, pipe 1-inch rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the choux puffs are golden brown and puffed up.

4

Prepare the Chicken Filling

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then, add 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for a few minutes until the chicken is heated through and the flavors are well combined.

5

Fill the Choux Puffs

Using a small knife or pastry bag, carefully make a small hole in the bottom of each choux puff. Fill each choux puff with the chicken filling, using a spoon or piping bag. Be generous but avoid overfilling.

6

Serve and Enjoy

Arrange the filled choux puffs on a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. These savory chicken-filled choux puffs are best enjoyed warm. Grab one, take a bite, and savor the deliciousness!
