CROQUETTES
5 Tbsp butter
5 Tbsp flour
1 1/4 c whole milk
3/4 tsp ground mustard
1/4 c panko bread crumbs
2 tsp chicken base
2 tsp dried minced onion flakes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 1/2 to 3 c finely chopped cooked chicken

CRUMB COATING
2 c panko bread crumbs

  • 1. Place a 2-3 quart saucepan over medium high heat. Add the butter and cook until melted. Add the flour and continue to cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes.
  • 2. Add the milk and ground mustard. Cook, stirring constantly, until a thick cream sauce forms.

  • 7. Dredge each in seasoned breadcrumbs and place on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken croquettes, but these were really good! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the creamy sauce was the perfect touch.

The croquettes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had used less salt in the recipe.

These croquettes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had baked them instead of frying them.

The croquettes were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would have liked them more if I had used more milk or cream in the sauce.

These croquettes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more herbs and spices.
