Ingredients: 2 cups cooked chicken, finely chopped; 1/4 cup onion, finely diced; 1/4 cup celery, finely diced; 1/4 cup carrots, finely diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/4 cup butter; 1/3 cup all-purpose flour; 1 cup milk; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon paprika; 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme; 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley; 1 cup breadcrumbs; 2 eggs, beaten; Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the flour to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes to make a roux.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped chicken, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and parsley to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes.
Shape the chicken mixture into small croquettes, about the size of a golf ball.
Dip each croquette into the beaten eggs and then coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly covered.
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the croquettes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the chicken croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad. Enjoy the delicious crunch and savory goodness!
