1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups finely chopped, cooked chicken meat (can use canned chicken)
1/4 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
2 tbsp minced celery
1 tbsp minced onion
(pre cook celery and onion)
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tbsp shortening
1/2 cup milk
1/8 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs for rolling

Steps:

  • 1. Combine 1/3 cup of the soup, chicken, bread crumbs, celery, onion and 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning. Mix well and shape into 6 croquettes or patties. Chill in refrigerator for about 1 hour 2.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining soup, milk and 1/8 tsp poultry seasoning. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally. Serve sauce over croquettes

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for croquettes.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly. This will help to prevent foodborne illness and ensure that the croquettes are cooked through.
  • Use a food processor or blender to shred the chicken. This will make the croquettes smoother and easier to form.
  • Season the chicken well. This will help to add flavor to the croquettes.
  • Use a binder to hold the croquettes together. Breadcrumbs, eggs, or mashed potatoes can all be used as binders.
  • Shape the croquettes into balls or patties. You can use a cookie scoop or your hands to shape the croquettes.
  • Coat the croquettes in bread crumbs or flour. This will help to give the croquettes a crispy coating.
  • Fry the croquettes in hot oil until golden brown. Be sure to adjust the heat so that the croquettes don't burn.
  • Serve the croquettes with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, ketchup, or barbecue sauce are all popular choices.
