Chicken Croquettes Recipe

	Poohbearlovesheavymetal / All my dishes 1 year, 7 months ago Grandma used to cook a whole chicken on Sunday and then use every bit of it for meals through the rest of the week. Mixing leftover chicken with bread crumbs and a few herbs and spices is a yummy way to strech your budget. Prep:30m Cook:20m Servings:4	Poohbearlov

Ingredients

3-4 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cut small

1 1/2-2 cups of bread crumbs

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. garlic

1 tsp. onion

1/2 tsp. each of your favorite herbs like thyme, sage, or tarragon

1 tbls. parsley

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup mayo

milk as needed

Directions

Remove chicken from bones and shred or cut in small pieces.

Mix in bread crumbs. I make my own. Just toast stale bread in a low oven until crisp through. Cool completely. Place in a paper or plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Storage in plastic bag in freezer until needed. If you don't have bread crumbs just tear up fresh bread in small pieces.

Add herbs and spices. Mix thoroughly.

Add beaten eggs and mayo. Mix thoroughly.

Mixture should hold together easily when squeezed. If not add a little milk until it does.

Roll into balls then press into patties.

Fry in about of 1/2 inch of your favorite oil. I save bacon grease for this because it adds so much flavor.

Serve with gravy, mash potatoes, and your favorite vegetables.

I have made these before last summer, but lost the recipe. I am vegetarian but in a house full of poultry fanatics! Will make these with the leftover chicken meat for them. Thanks!
