Chicken Croquettes
Chicken Croquettes are a versatile and savory dish featuring a crispy, golden crust that encases a creamy, flavorful filling made from chicken and seasonings.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 cups diced onion
- 3 cups cooked, finely chopped chicken meat
- 1½ cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Collect all the necessary ingredients for the recipe. Make sure everything is ready and within reach before you begin.
- In a large skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, remove the skillet from the heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, bread crumbs, and two beaten eggs. Stir in the sautéed onion until everything is well mixed. If the mixture feels too dry to shape into patties, add the remaining egg. Then, fold in the parsley, salt, and pepper until fully incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into small, even patties using your hands or a spoon.
- Clean the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Heat over medium heat, and in batches, fry the patties until they are golden and crispy, cooking for 4 to 6 minutes on each side.
