CHICKEN TIMBALES

1 1/2 cups cooked rice*
1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken**
1 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup chicken broth or milk
1 tablespoon finely diced onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper

Mix all ingredients together. Divide mixture among custard cups or individual baking dishes.

Place cups in pan of very hot water and bake at 350 degrees F (moderate oven) about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of timbale comes out clean.

*Cooked macaroni, spaghetti, of noodles may be substituted for the cooked rice,

**Cooked ham, pork, turkey, fish, or rabbit may be used in place of the chicken. If you have less than the 1 1/2 cups of chicken (or other meat) the recipe calls for, stretch the meat with sliced hard cooked eggs and cooked peas.

Mushroom sauce may be served on the timbales.
