Crispy Chicken Croquette Ingredients

Method

Crispy Chicken Croquette Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croquette Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, egg, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Croquettes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small oval or round shapes, about 2 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Coat the Croquettes

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each croquette in flour, dip in the egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are fully covered.

  4. 4

    Fry the Croquettes

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the croquettes in batches, frying until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crispy chicken croquettes warm with tomatillo salsa, guacamole, and lime wedges on the side.
