Oven Chicken Croquettes

Recipe Ingredients

5 tablespoons	75ml	Butter
1 1/4 cups	182g / 6.4oz	Bread crumbs
3 tablespoons	45ml	Flour
3 tablespoons	45ml	Chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup	118ml	Milk
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Salt
1/2 cup	118ml	Chicken broth
2		Eggs - beaten
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Finely chopped cooked chicken
1/4 cup	36g / 1.3oz	Grated parmesan cheese

Recipe Instructions

1. In a medium-size saucepan, melt 3 Tbsp. of butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes without browning. Gradually whisk in milk and broth and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat; let cool for 5 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, 1 c. bread crumbs, parsley, salt and eggs. Mix well. Pour in sauce, blend, and cover. Chill for 2 hours, until set.

3. Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine Parmesan cheese and remaining 1/4 c. bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Shape chicken mixture into 2 1/2 to 3 inch balls, then roll into ovals (makes about 8). Roll croquettes in bread crumb mixture.

4. Arrange croquettes in a greased 12x8x2-inch baking dish. Melt remaining 2 Tbsp. butter and drizzle over croquettes. Bake 30 minutes, until golden brown.

Note: I have successfully used cracker crumbs in place of bread crumbs. Hope you enjoy! These are well worth the work involved.
