ingredients
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon milk
1/3 cup flour
1 cup soft bread crumbs
vegetable oil, for frying
directions
Place a saucepan over low heat and add the butter. Melt the butter, stirring occasionally.
Add the first measure of flour while stirring over low heat until the mixture is smooth, about a minute.
Slowly stir in the first measure of milk. Increase the heat to medium and cook until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly.
Stir in the salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the chicken. Mix well then cover and chill for one hour.
When the mixture is chilled, shape it into equal sized balls.
Preheat oil in a deep skillet to 375 degrees F (you can also use a deep fryer).
While the oil is heating, combine the egg and remaining milk until well mixed. Place in a shallow bowl.
Place the remaining flour and bread crumbs in shallow bowls.
Take one chicken croquette and dredge it in the flour. Then dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat it with the bread crumbs. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Fry the croquettes in the oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels. Serve with a sauce if desired.

Momeries from the 1960's of eating out after earning my first pay check mid-college. I will be searching for the sauce that was served with the croquettes. Many thanks.

These are just delicious. I add some salt and pepper to the meat and when finished, cover with cream of mushroom sauce or cream of chicken sauce. My kids just loved them!!! Good way to use up leftover chicken, and very inexpensive to make.

I have made this twice now and everyone LOVES them! I poached my chicken in a flavorful stock. Some of them start to explode during the frying process. I dont know why. The chef gets to eat the ugly ones!!!!!
