CHICKEN ASPIC

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath; set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine consomme and gelatin. Let stand until gelatin is soft, about 10 minutes. Place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 30 seconds. Transfer to ice bath; and let stand, stirring occasionally, until room temperature.
