This easy recipe using leftover chicken is based on my grandmother’s recipe for salmon cakes. A simple mixture of cooked chicken, eggs, bread crumbs, saut?ed onion, parsley, and light seasoning results in crispy croquettes you’ll go crazy for!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 cups diced onion
- 3 cups cooked, finely chopped chicken meat
- 1 ½ cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saut? until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 3
Combine chicken, bread crumbs, and two eggs in a large bowl; stir in onion until well combined. If mixture is too dry to form patties, mix in remaining egg. Mix in parsley, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Form into small patties.
Step 5
Wipe out the skillet; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, fry patties until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
