Ohhhhh, my yesss!! LOVE chicken croquettes! I had them quite often as a child in Ohio. One time I had them at a diner in Iowa. Theirs were made into little "pone" shapes and smothered in a light yellow creamy gravy. I'll never forget those...

This sounds great. There is always leftover chicken and this sounds like a great recipe to make use of them.

I love croquettes....make them with leftover turkey every Thanksgiving. I do happen to have some leftover chicken staring me down in the frig, this might be the perfect recipe to use up the cooked meat. Good stuff, thanks for the reminder.
