Leftover Chicken Croquettes/Slider

Leftover Chicken Croquettes/Slider

Was off to Costco yesterday and we had their delicious roaster chicken for dinner.  I have all of the breasts leftover and decided to make little Croquettes,

One can really put all kinds of things in these patties, but I think I will keep it simple. 

Croquette/Patty

Made six small patties.

 2 cups cooked, finely chopped chicken meat

 1  cups seasoned dry bread crumbs

 2 eggs, lightly beaten

 2 cups sauteed chopped onion

 3 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 celery stalk chopped finely and sauteed

 1 teaspoon salt

 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 tablespoons olive oil

Take egg out and beat first before adding!

Sautee the onion and celery and garlic in  ½ tablespoon olive oil. 

In a bowl place all the rest of the ingredients.  Add the sautéed vegetables to the bowl. Stir well and form small slider size patties.

Heat the rest of the olive oil and then slide carefully in the patties.  Fry about 4 minutes without moving them.  Turn carefully over and fry until browned. Do not overcook as the meat is already cooked.

TIP

·        Top with a sauce or condiment of your liking. I placed some of my guacamole (previous blog) on top and loved it!

·        These are not true croquettes.  They are usually breaded and then fried. They are often served with a cream sauce.
