Steps

1 1/2 hours

1

Chop the leftover chicken and save any juices.
2

Sauté the onion in a large skillet, then set aside with the chopped chicken.
3

Add a little butter or oil to the pan for the béchamel. When hot, add the flour and cook it so it doesn't taste raw. I like to add a bit of the chicken drippings here.
4

Add the milk and stir well to remove any lumps until it thickens. Add nutmeg and salt.
5

Add the chicken and onion, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until you reach the desired consistency.
6

Spread the béchamel mixture in a large dish so it cools evenly and is easier to shape later. Drizzle a little oil on top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours.
7

Cut the chilled mixture into squares the size you want your croquettes. Rub a little oil on your hands and shape them into balls. Coat each one in breadcrumbs, then egg, then breadcrumbs again, and fry in plenty of hot oil until golden.
