Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced small
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- 1
Set the oven to 350°F and wait until the indicator light tells you it has finished heating, about 8 minutes.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoon salt until no streaks of powder remain.
- 3
Crack 2 eggs into a separate small bowl and whisk them together until the whites and yolks are fully combined and the mixture looks uniform, about 20 seconds.
- 4
Pour the whisked eggs into the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined—the batter should look lumpy and rough, not smooth.
- 5
Fold 0.75 cup shredded cooked chicken into the batter using a rubber spatula, lifting from the bottom of the bowl and pressing the batter up and over the chicken until distributed throughout.
- 6
Divide the batter equally between two greased 4-ounce ramekins or small ceramic bread molds, filling each about three-quarters full.
- 7
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and slide the sheet into the preheated oven.
- 8
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the top of each bread is golden brown—the color of caramel—and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with no wet batter clinging to it.
- 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the breads cool in the ramekins for 2 minutes, then turn them out onto a cutting board or plate.
