Ingrédients
Chicken Croquettes
- 400 g chicken breast finely chopped
- 2 eggs beaten
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika or herbs (parsley, thyme)
- vegetable oil for frying (sunflower or canola)
Instructions
- Finely chop the chicken breast. Use a food processor but avoid turning it into a paste.
- In a large bowl, mix the chopped chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika or herbs.
- Prepare three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Shape the chicken mixture into small balls or patties. Coat each in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
- Heat the vegetable oil to about 180°C and fry the croquettes for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Alternatively, bake at 200°C for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Notes
For extra crunch, replace some breadcrumbs with panko or add grated Parmesan. You can also customize with herbs, spices, or a cheese center.
