Croquetas Ingredients

2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup Onion, finely chopped

2 tsp Garlic, minced

1 cup Milk

1/2 cups Flour

4 tbs Butter

2 large Eggs

2 cups Breadcrumbs

1/4 cups Parsley, chopped

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 cups Oil for frying

Method

Preparation Steps

Prepare the filling

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

Combine ingredients

Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Add the shredded chicken, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the mixture thickens, then remove from heat and let cool.

Form the croquettes

Once the mixture is cool, shape it into small cylinders or balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Coat the croquettes

In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Dip each croquette first in the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Fry the croquettes

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

Serve

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
