Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups finely chopped, cooked chicken meat (can use canned chicken)
1/4 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
2 tbsp minced celery
1 tbsp minced onion
(pre cook celery and onion)
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tbsp shortening
1/2 cup milk
1/8 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs for rolling

Steps:

  • 1. Combine 1/3 cup of the soup, chicken, bread crumbs, celery, onion and 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning. Mix well and shape into 6 croquettes or patties. Chill in refrigerator for about 1 hour 2. Remove croquettes from refrigerator and roll in additional bread crumbs. In a large skillet, melt 1-2 tbsp shortening. Brown the croquettes in the shortening. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining soup, milk and 1/8 tsp poultry seasoning. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally. Serve sauce over croquettes

Tips:

  • For a crispy coating, make sure the chicken is well-coated in bread crumbs before frying.
  • To prevent the croquettes from falling apart, use a binder such as egg or mayonnaise.
  • If you don't have a deep fryer, you can shallow-fry the croquettes in a large skillet.
  • To make sure the croquettes are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the center of one. It should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the croquettes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Chicken croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize them to your liking. With a little planning, you can even make them ahead of time and freeze them for later. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken croquettes a try.
