Chicken Croquettes are crispy on the outside and creamy inside, packed with savory chicken flavor and perfect for a comforting homemade appetizer or snack.
Chicken Croquettes are a classic comfort food made with tender shredded chicken mixed with a creamy seasoned base, shaped into rolls or patties, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried until golden and crispy.
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, then add minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
Add flour to the pan and stir continuously for about 1 minute to form a smooth roux.
Slowly pour in milk while stirring constantly until a thick and creamy sauce forms.
Add shredded chicken, salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes until combined.
Transfer the mixture to a plate and allow it to cool. Once cooled, shape the mixture into small croquettes.
Roll each croquette in flour, dip in beaten eggs, coat with breadcrumbs, then fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy.
