24 filled cream puffs

Preparation

1. Remove the skin and bones from the chicken breast and discard. Cut the meat into very small cubes. There should be about one and one-half cups. Set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. When blended, add the broth, stirring rapidly with the whisk. When thickened and smooth, stir in the cream.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste, nutmeg, cayenne and tarragon. Let simmer, stirring, about two minutes.
4. Add the chicken and stir. Bring to the boil.
5. Slice off the tops of all the cream puffs. Spoon an equal portion of the mixture into each cream-puff bottom. Replace the tops and serve.
