Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Low sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups Cooked chicken, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 2 cups Plain breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the flour and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously until it forms a smooth paste (roux).
Gradually whisk in the low sodium chicken broth, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens.
Add the finely chopped cooked chicken, parsley, nutmeg, and black pepper to the thickened sauce, mixing well.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool, then refrigerate for about an hour or until it is firm enough to shape.
Once chilled, shape the mixture into small, cylindrical croquettes (about 2-3 inches long).
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the milk.
Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
Dip each croquette into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the croquettes in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
