 Categories: Croquette, Chicken
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      5 tb Butter
  1 1/4 c  Bread crumbs
      3 tb Flour
      3 tb Chopped fresh parsley
    1/2 c  Milk
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Chicken broth
      2    Eggs; beaten
      2 c  Finely chopped cooked
           - chicken
    1/4 c  Grated parmesan cheese

  1. In a medium-size saucepan, melt 3 Tbsp. of butter over medium heat. Add
     flour and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes without browning. Gradually
     whisk in milk and broth and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and
     thickened. Remove from heat; let cool for 5 minutes.
  
  2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, 1 c. bread crumbs, parsley, salt and
     eggs. Mix well. Pour in sauce, blend, and cover. Chill for 2 hours,
     until set.
  
  3. Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine Parmesan cheese and remaining 1/4 c.
     bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Shape chicken mixture into 2 1/2 to 3
     inch balls, then roll into ovals (makes about 8). Roll croquettes in
     bread crumb mixture.
  
  4. Arrange croquettes in a greased 12x8x2-inch baking dish. Melt remaining
     2 Tbsp. butter and drizzle over croquettes. Bake 30 minutes, until
     golden brown.
  
  Note:I have successfully used cracker crumbs in place of bread crumbs. Hope
  you enjoy! These are well worth the work involved.
