Croquette Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Stir in flour, cooking for another 2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually add chicken broth while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add shredded chicken, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  4. 4

    Shape the Croquettes

    Once the mixture is cool, form it into small logs or balls, about 2 inches long.

  5. 5

    Coat the Croquettes

    Beat the eggs in a bowl. Dip each croquette in the egg, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly.

  6. 6

    Fry the Croquettes

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
