 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2                    Chicken breasts -- skin and
                       - bones removed
                       Salt and pepper
  2                    Eggs
  1       tb           Butter -- softened
    1/4   c            Heavy cream
    1/4   c            Hazelnuts -- skins removed,
                       - and chopped
  2       c            Chicken stock

 In a food processor place the chicken breasts, salt, and pepper.  Puree
 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.
