- Preparation: 40 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (282 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Contains: celery, dairy, egg, gluten, poultry
Ingredients
- 60 g Chicken breast, boneless, skinless, raw
- 80 g Chicken broth
- 50 g Flour, all-purpose
- 5 g Butter, unsalted
- 15 g Cream cheese
- 10 g Onions, raw

Method
- Makes 1 portion (2 pieces); multiply by 6 for a batch of 12. Poach the chicken breast in enough water to cover for 12-15 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature at least 74 °C/165 °F), then shred finely.

- Bring the chicken broth and butter to a boil, then stir in the flour all at once and cook, stirring vigorously, until it forms a smooth, thick dough that pulls together; let cool slightly.
- Take a portion of dough, flatten it in your palm, place a spoonful of filling in the center, and shape it around the filling into a teardrop.
- Dip each croquette in the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat.
- Deep-fry at 175 °C (350 °F) for 4-5 minutes until deep golden and heated through, then drain and serve hot.
