Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 1/8 cup all-purpose flour for thickening the filling
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 slices white bread finely chopped
- 1/2 pound cooked chicken breast coarsely chopped
- all-purpose flour additional, for dredging
- 1 egg beaten
- breadcrumbs for coating
- vegetable oil enough to reach at least 1/2 inch deep in the skillet
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until tender.
- Add the 1/8 cup flour, salt and black pepper. Slowly add the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
- Remove from the heat and mix in the finely chopped bread and cooked chicken. Refrigerate for one hour.
- Shape the chilled mixture into four patties. Dredge each in additional flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a skillet to reach at least 1/2 inch deep. Fry the croquettes until browned, turning once. Check that the centers reach 165°F with a food thermometer, then drain on paper towels.
Notes
The total includes a one-hour chill. The dredging flour, breadcrumbs and frying oil have no set amounts and are not counted in the nutrition, so the true figure is higher.
