Provided by The Kitchen Whisperer

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups cooked potatoes (boiled) and cooled
2 tablespoon melted butter
1/4 cup milk or chicken stock, warmed
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon shallots, minced
2 teaspoon parsley, divided
1/2 cup Panko or Gluten Free Panko
1/2 cup unseasoned (gluten free or regular) bread crumbs *See note on how to make gluten free bread crumbs
2 large eggs, divided
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 cups cooked leftover chicken, chopped small (I recommend roasted chicken. Do not just use boiled chicken as that doesn't have enough flavor)
Olive oil
Pan gravy from roasted chicken for dipping

Steps:

  • In a bowl place the potatoes, butter, milk, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon parsley. Mash to desired consistency - I left some chunks. I would not make it super creamy as you want to texture. To the potatoes add the chicken and shallots; stir to combine. Next, add in 1 egg and 1/4 cup unseasoned bread crumbs. Mix to combine. The mixture should be sticky but not runny.
  • Cover and chill for at least 1-2 hours. You want it to be cold so you can form it.
  • When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 450F with a rack in the middle. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray.
  • In a pie plate beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water. In a second pie plate add in the panko and remaining unseasoned bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon parsley; mix to combine. Make an assembly line starting with the croquette mixture, egg and then breadcrumbs with the baking sheet at the end.
  • Measure 1/4 cup of the mixture and form into croquettes (long cylinders about 2" or you can make into balls).
  • Dip, coating all sides, in the egg mixture. Place in the breadcrumbs and coat evenly. Place on the baking sheet and repeat making the rest of the croquettes. Generously spray (or lightly drizzle) olive oil on the croquettes. Do not soak them but you should be able to see the oil glisten on the breadcrumbs. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Place the oven to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes on each side to get super crunchy. *To flip gently use tongs along the long side of the croquettes and flip. Remove from the oven and serve with pan gravy from the leftover roasted chicken as a dipping sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup milk
1 cup fresh chicken stock (canned broth may be substituted)
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 teaspoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
Salt, to taste (only if using fresh chicken stock)
1/4 pound butter
1 stalk celery, minced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 pounds cooked chicken meat, ground in food processor
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour or cracker meal
3 cups breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Pinch white pepper and salt
Salad oil or liquid shortening, for frying
Mashed potatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • For the croquette batter: In a heavy pot, heat the milk and chicken stock on the stove and then add the white pepper, fresh parsley and salt, if needed. In a separate heavy pot, melt the butter and add the minced celery. Stir in the flour and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in the hot milk and stock and stir until thickened and smooth. Fold in the chicken meat and allow to cool.
  • Breading the croquettes: Shape 3-ounce portions of croquette batter in the shape of a cone and place on a tray lined with waxed paper. Next make an egg wash from the milk, eggs and salt. Dip the croquettes in the egg wash and then into the flour and let stand a few minutes. Finish breading by dipping the croquettes back in the egg wash and then rolling in breadcrumbs.
  • For the chicken gravy: Melt the butter in a 1- or 2-quart saucepan, and stir in the flour. Pour in the stock and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook for 20 minutes. Add the fresh parsley, white pepper and salt, to taste, (if fresh stock was used).
  • Cooking the croquettes: Fry the croquettes in a pot with salad oil or liquid shortening, heated to 350 degrees F, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well and blot on paper towels. Place on a bed of mashed potatoes and top each croquette with chicken gravy.

CORNBREAD PATTIES



Cornbread Patties image

My mom's recipe that she finally measured and wrote down the ingredients. You can't get any more Southern than this! Patties can be fried in bacon grease or vegetable oil, or a combination of both.

Provided by PleasantNancy

Categories     Breads

Time 15m

Yield 20 patties, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup white cornmeal (fine ground)
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
2/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat oil in frying pan, add enough oil to shallowly cover pan.
  • Mix all ingredients and drop by one tablespoon to form small patties in hot oil.
  • Brown on one side, flip and brown on the other side.
  • Continue browning in batches, adding more oil as necessary.
  • Serve immediately with butter.
  • Can reheat any leftovers in toaster oven.

Tips:

  • Use leftover chicken and cornbread. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken and cornbread, making it a budget-friendly and sustainable meal.
  • Season the chicken and cornbread well. Be sure to season the chicken and cornbread generously with salt and pepper, as well as any other desired seasonings. This will help to ensure that the croquettes are flavorful throughout.
  • Use a food processor to chop the chicken and cornbread. This will make it easier to combine the ingredients and create a smooth mixture. If you don't have a food processor, you can also chop the chicken and cornbread by hand, but it will take a bit longer.
  • Be careful not to overmix the croquettes. Overmixing will make the croquettes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Form the croquettes into balls or patties. You can use your hands or a spoon to form the croquettes. If you are making balls, roll them between your palms until they are smooth. If you are making patties, flatten them with your hands or a fork.
  • Bread the croquettes. Dredge the croquettes in flour, then egg, and then breadcrumbs. This will help them to brown nicely and stay crispy.
  • Fry the croquettes. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Fry the croquettes in batches until they are golden brown on all sides. Drain the croquettes on paper towels before serving.

Conclusion:

These Chicken Cornbread Croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for using up leftover chicken and cornbread, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have some leftover chicken and cornbread, don't let it go to waste! Make these Chicken Cornbread Croquettes instead.
