Crispy Chicken Croquettes

1. 1

   Prepare the Bacon Truffle Bechamel

   In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, add butter and melt. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually add milk while whisking until smooth. Stir in the crispy bacon, truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Make the Croquette Mixture

   In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken and the bacon truffle bechamel. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

3. 3

   Form the Croquettes

   Once the mixture is chilled, form it into small balls or patties. Set aside.

4. 4

   Coat and Fry

   In a shallow dish, beat the eggs. In another dish, place breadcrumbs. Dip each croquette in the eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

   Prepare the Grilled Heirloom Tomato Brodo
