Baked Chicken Croquettes
We love croquettes, but we don't like how much oil is usually involved, so we decided to bake them instead. They're absolutely delicious—healthier without losing any flavor!

- 1
First, cook the chicken. You can use any pot to stew it for about 15 minutes. Once cooked, let it cool slightly, then chop or shred it finely.
- 2
Chop the chicken into small pieces or shred it until fine.
- 3
Melt the butter in your largest skillet over medium-low heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for a few minutes, then add the minced garlic and sauté until golden.
- 4
Gradually add the flour by spoonfuls, stirring well so it blends smoothly. Pour in the milk in three parts, stirring constantly to dissolve the flour. Add salt and nutmeg.
- 5
Once the mixture is smooth, add the chicken and mix well for about 3 minutes.
- 6
Transfer the mixture to a large container and let it cool. Place a damp cloth over the top to prevent a crust from forming. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. After that, the dough will be ready to shape into croquettes.
- 7
Shape the croquettes by hand, or for a trick: cut the bottom off a large plastic water bottle, fill it with the dough, and use your gloved hand to push the dough out in logs, then cut into pieces.
- 8
Dip each croquette in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. They're now ready to fry, bake (which is much healthier and less greasy), or freeze for later.
