Chicken Croquettes
Description
These Chicken Croquettes are made by mixing ground chicken breast with chopped onion, shredded zucchini, seasoned bread crumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. The mixture rests briefly to allow the bread crumbs to absorb moisture and bind the ingredients effectively. The croquettes are shaped into patties and cooked in a frying pan with neutral oil over medium heat until both sides are golden and the chicken is cooked through.
The presence of shredded zucchini adds moisture and subtle texture variation, while the bread crumbs help provide structure and slight crispness on the outside. The final patties are tender and flavorful without overpowering seasoning.
They can be served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of fresh dill, which adds a cool, creamy contrast to the warm croquettes. These croquettes make a straightforward protein option that works for weeknight dinners or casual lunches.
