Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (for filling)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt until smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be slightly thinner than pancake batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway.
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown. Avoid opening the oven during baking to prevent them from collapsing.
While the popovers are baking, prepare the creamy chicken filling. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly in the creamy sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the popovers are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Use a small knife to make a slit in the top of each popover.
Spoon the creamy chicken mixture into each popover through the slit, filling generously.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
