Croquetas Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
