Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Russet potatoes
- 200 grams Cooked chicken breast
- 100 grams Chickpea flour
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes, then place them in a large saucepan. Fill with water to cover the potatoes, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain and mash the potatoes in a bowl using a potato masher or a fork until smooth and lump-free. Let the mash cool slightly.
Finely chop the cooked chicken breast, ensuring it is in very small, uniform pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped chicken, chickpea flour, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated and form a cohesive dough.
Shape the mixture into small cylinders or ovals, about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each croquette in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the croquettes, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the croquettes for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the croquettes from the skillet and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the croquettes warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
