Leftover Chicken Croquettes
Description :
This easy recipe using leftover chicken is based on my grandmother's recipe for salmon cakes. A simple mixture of cooked chicken, eggs, bread crumbs, sautéed onion, parsley, and light seasoning results in crispy croquettes you'll go crazy for!
Ingredient :
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
2 cups diced onion
-
3 cups cooked, finely chopped chicken meat
-
1 ½ cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
-
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
-
1 large egg, lightly beaten (Optional)
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Direction :
- Gather all ingredients.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
-
Combine chicken, bread crumbs, and two eggs in a large bowl; stir in onion until well combined. If mixture is too dry to form patties, mix in remaining egg. Mix in parsley, salt, and pepper.
-
Form into small patties.
-
Wipe out the skillet; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, fry patties until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
