Directions
Leftover Chicken Croquettes, A mixture of chicken, eggs, bread crumbs, sauteed onion, parsley and light seasoning, Nice way to use up leftover chicken I didn’t have an onion on hand, stirred in a bit of dried minced onion, black pepper, a touch of dry mustard and cayenne powder
These cooked up beautifully, frying them in peanut oil in a cast iron skillet
I DID adjust the proportions by ear The basic recipe here calls for one part bread crumbs to two parts chicken, and that seemed like far too much filler I chopped the chicken into 1/8 inch dice, added an egg and about half the recommended amount of bread crumbs (using Pepperidge Farm Italian seasoned crumbs) A second egg made things a little too loose, but another tablespoon or two of the crumbs made a nice mixture that felt right when manipulated with the spatula As I put the croquettes into the hot oil, I sprinkled the tiniest bit of Panko crumbs on each side, to help brown them They came out crisp on the outside, deliciously golden brown, and well cooked
Reading other reviews, I think people may not realize that different bread crumbs are going to thicken the batter differently You really can’t follow the recipe exactly; you simply have to make the proportions by feel
Served it with a spring greens salad, dressed with lemon-tahini dressing and some home-made cranberry sauce , Very good basic recipe used two eggs, my own home made bread crumbs made from a good crusty french loaf, I did not have parsley on hand so used the tops of a celery bunch I had which adds extra flavor plus the grassy taste of parsley, I also added two tablespoons mayonnaise I see many resort to canned cream soups, blechhhhh, they are so artificial tasting and bad for you I also added a 1/4 cup of minced red bell pepper and a 1 tsp of poultry seasoning, seasoning salt instead of table salt and lots of fresh ground black pepper Was very tasty
