I found this recipe in a cookbook from Alabama and adapted it to suit my family's tastes. The Creole sauce is a nice complement to the mild chicken.

2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning

4 to 8 drops Louisiana-style hot sauce

Directions

In a large saucepan, bring water and bouillon to a boil. Reduce heat. Add chicken; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until juices run clear. Drain, reserving 1 cup liquid. Shred chicken; sprinkle with seafood seasoning. Set aside.
In the same pan, bring butter and reserved poaching liquid to a boil. Combine flour and baking powder; add to the pan and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in chicken.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Serve with chicken puffs. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen (1-1/3 cups sauce).

Editor's Note: The following spices may be substituted for 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning: 1/4 teaspoon each salt, garlic powder and paprika; and a pinch each of dried thyme, ground cumin and cayenne pepper.
