One word of caution for this recipe - the amount of chicken mix seems much less than it is, and in a way, it is less than the recipe says. You should be able to make 12 croquettes with this recipe, but I could make 12 meatball-sized croquettes, or 7 patty-shaped croquettes, which is what mom decided on when she came home and smashed my meatballs together to make bigger patties. The good thing is, this recipe is from AllRecipes.com, which let's you decide the serving amount and it automatically re-calculates the ingredients needed for you. Though it does not re-calculate the ingredients in the directions, so be aware of that. If you're going to make these, I recommend really mincing or even putting the chicken in a food processor if you like the traditional style of a croquette. These have bigger pieces of chicken (though still small) in them, but overall they came out yummy.
Chicken Croquettes
from allrecipes.com
2 (10.75 oz) can cream of chicken soup
3 cups cooked chicken, finely minced ( i used a rotisserie chicken)
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
2 tbsp. minced onion
1/4 cup minced celery
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
2 tbsp. shortening (for frying, but you could use oil)
1 cup milk
3/4 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs for rolling
1. Combine the chicken, 2/3 cup of soup, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, onion, celery and 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning in a bowl and mix til well combined. Shape into croquettes (you can make 12-14 meatball-sized ones or 7 patties) and chill in the fridge for an hour.
2. Remove croquettes from the refrigerator and roll in the breadcrumbs. In a large skillet, melt 1-2 tbsp of shortening and brown the croquettes on all sides. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine remaining soup, milk and poultry seasoning. Heat over low, stirring occasionally and serve over croquettes.
