Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     30-Minute Meals

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness (4 average-sized breasts)
1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 cup white wine* or chicken broth, or as necessary
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more if you want extra sauce
1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced; or to taste
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, optional for garnishing

Steps:

  • To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.
  • Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it's searing.
  • Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
  • Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
  • Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.
  • Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  • Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

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.

Time 4h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon LAND O LAKES® Butter
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¾ cup chicken broth, divided
½ teaspoon dry mustard
½ teaspoon salt
4 cups finely chopped cooked chicken
2 egg yolks, beaten
¼ teaspoon hot pepper paste
1 cup cracker crumbs
Canola oil for frying
⅓ cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 pinch fresh thyme
1 pinch fresh oregano
1 pinch fresh basil
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over low heat. Add onion and cook until tender. Stir in flour; cook and stir until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce heat if mixture browns too quickly.
  • Gradually add 1/2 cup of chicken broth and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Stir in dry mustard, salt, and chopped chicken; whisk in egg yolks.
  • Cook over medium heat stirring constantly for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or preferably overnight.
  • Combine remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth and hot pepper paste; stir into chilled chicken mixture.
  • Shape chicken mixture into patties (an ice cream scoop will give you consistent size patties). Dredge patties in cracker crumbs.
  • Pour 1/2 inch oil into skillet. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry the croquettes until golden brown; do not turn the croquettes until they are well browned on the first side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook the other side, 4 to 5 minutes. Fry in batches, as needed. Drain on paper towels.
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning. Stir in flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute.
  • Pour in the milk and herbs and continue to cook, whisking constantly, until sauce begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Ladle sauce over croquettes on serving plates.

Tips:

  • To ensure crispy croquettes, use a combination of breadcrumbs and panko breadcrumbs. The panko breadcrumbs will add extra crunchiness.
  • For a more flavorful croquette, use a mixture of light and dark meat chicken.
  • Be sure to season the chicken mixture generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance the flavor of the croquettes.
  • When shaping the croquettes, make sure to pack the chicken mixture tightly together. This will help to prevent the croquettes from falling apart during frying.
  • To achieve a golden brown color, fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are crispy on all sides.
  • Serve the croquettes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Garlic butter sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
