(PChef)

Ingredients:

Popover Puff
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided

1 cup milk

6 eggs

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

Chicken & Vegetable Filling
2 medium carrots, peeled

1 cup sugar snap peas, cut in half diagonally

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1 lemon

1 can (10 1/2 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup

2 cups diced cooked chicken (12 ounces)

1 cup diced red bell pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons All-Purpose Dill Mix

1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450ºF. For popover puff, place butter in small microwave-cooker; microwave, covered, on HIGH 30 seconds or until melted. Measure 1 tablespoon of the butter into bottom of a deep dish baker; brush over bottom only. In a bowl, combine remaining butter, milk and eggs. In a bowl, stir together flour and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture; whisk 1 minute or until smooth. Pour batter into baker. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF; continue baking 10-15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

2. Meanwhile, prepare chicken and vegetable filling. Using a crinkle cutter, cut carrots in half lengthwise then crosswise into 1/4-inch slices to measure 1 cup. Cut snap peas in half. Chop onion. Place carrots, snap peas, onion and butter in microwave-cooker. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender; set aside.

3. Juice lemon using a juicer to measure 2 tablespoons juice. Finely dice bell pepper. In clean a bowl, combine lemon juice, bell pepper, soup, chicken and dill mix; mix well. Microwave on HIGH 4-5 minutes or until hot, stirring once. Grate cheese. Add cheese and half of the vegetable mixture into filling; mix gently.

4. Remove puff from oven to cooling rack; let stand 3 minutes or until puff begins to fall, forming a shell. If necessary, use a paring knife to cut around sides of puff to loosen from baker.

5. Spoon filling into center of puff. Arrange remaining vegetable mixture around edges of filling. Slice and serve.
