Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 organic free-range egg It’s challenging to halve an egg precisely, so you might want to use a full egg and adjust slightly
- 1/12 cup finely ground almond flour equivalent to 1 tablespoon
- 1/4 tablespoon diced red onion
- 1/4 cup creamy whole milk
- 1/16 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/12 cup panko breadcrumbs around 4.167 tablespoons
- 1/2 tablespoon freshly chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup cooked diced free-range chicken breast
- 1/4 tablespoon Himalayan pink salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet lightly and set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken breast, diced red onion, crushed red pepper flakes, and chopped Italian parsley.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, almond flour, lemon juice, and the half egg (or use a full egg if preferred). Blend until smooth.
- Gradually add the milk and flour mixture to the chicken mixture. Mix well until it forms a cohesive mixture.
- Shape the mixture into croquette shapes using your hands. Roll each croquette in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
- Place the formed croquettes onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the croquettes turn golden brown and are thoroughly cooked.
- Once done, remove the croquettes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the delicious chicken croquettes warm with your favorite dipping sauce or sides. Enjoy your homemade Betty Crocker-inspired Chicken Croquettes.
Notes
• If the mixture is too wet or too dry, add a little more breadcrumbs or olive oil to adjust the consistency.
• The croquettes can be cooked in the oven instead of the skillet. Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the croquettes on a greased baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
• For a healthier option, the croquettes can be baked without the oil.
• To make the croquettes vegan, replace the chicken with tofu or tempeh and use vegan breadcrumbs.
• For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
