Ingredients to make chicken and cheese croquettes:
1. Pica the onion finely and heats a splash of oil in a pan. When hot, saute the onion for a few minutes, preferably over medium-low heat to prevent it from burning. Meanwhile, we deny the chicken breast or cut it into very thin strips.
Trick: You can use chicken already cooked or baked. If you only have raw meat, we recommend cooking it in boiling water, let it cool and crumble it.
2. Add the chicken when the onion is transparent and remove to integrate both ingredients. Cook for approximately 4 minutes over medium heat.
3. Incorporates the flour cup and continues to remove to cook and chicken and cheese croquettes do not have raw flour flavor. Do not be raw. In this step try to be pending so that the flour does not stick and get burned. With a couple of minutes it will be enough.
4. Pour the chicken or water broth and continue stirring. Add the liquid little by little and while stirring to be formed as a light bechamel, since you will not use milk. It is not necessary to add the entire broth, simply the preparation needs.
5. Little by little the Bechamel will be thickened. Add the spices and continue to remove so that the chicken is releasing its juice and all the preparation takes the taste of all the ingredients.
6. Let everything cook, stirring occasionally to avoid burning, and after about 4 minutes add the grated cheese. Take it and turn off the fire, since with the same heat of the sauce the cheese will melt and integrate. Remember that you can make chicken and cheese croquettes using the grated cheese that you like the most. Likewise, you can use blue cheese if you prefer, gorgonzola cheese or goat cheese, the important thing is that it is one that is founded and integrated into the sauce.
7. Once the Bechamel has been done, you must let it cool for 2 hours to take greater solidity and you can work the dough easily. Once cold, forms the chicken and cheese croquettes with your hands and pass them by beaten egg and breadcrumbs, in this order. If you have breadcrumbs with parsley and garlic much better.
Trick: So that they are more crispy you can make a second batter.
8. Pour into a pan frying oil and, when it is hot but not in excess, cook the chicken croquettes with cheese carefully and try to be separated, so fry them in small batches. It is important to keep in mind that the oil should not be too hot so that croquettes can cook well inside. It will take about 5 minutes to get and you will have to go around. When they are made, put them on paper paper to absorb the excess oil.
Trick: You can also cook them with less oil if you want to reduce the number of calories, although it will take a little longer to get.
9. Enjoy your homemade chicken and cheese croquettes accompanied by your favorite sauce. For example, the classic mayonnaise or barbecue sauce fit perfectly.
