   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.  Purée
  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 puréed 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.
