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.
