Ingredients

Croquettes
  • 2 cups roasted chicken, shredded
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/4 cup low-fat milk
  • 1 box seasoned stuffing mix
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp celery, finely chopped optional
  • Breadcrumbs, for dredging
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil, for frying
Sauce
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup low-fat milk

Method

  1. Mix chicken, soup, milk, stuffing mix, egg, onion, and celery until well combined. Chill at least 3 hours.
  2. Shape about 3/4 cup mixture into a log or traditional cone shape, or form patties for easier handling.
  3. Roll each croquette in breadcrumbs to coat.
  4. Pan-fry in about 1/4 inch oil over medium heat, turning as needed, until golden on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. For a baked version, bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes; from frozen, bake 45 to 50 minutes.
  6. Keep warm in a 200°F oven if needed.
  7. For sauce, warm the second can of soup with 1 cup milk in a saucepan until smooth and creamy.

Finish + Service

  • Serve sauce over the croquettes or on the side.
  • Traditionally served over mashed potatoes.
  • Freeze shaped, breaded croquettes up to 2 months if desired.
