Chicken Cornbread Croquettes image

This is a great recipe to use with leftover chicken. I've made this with plain bread crumbs but cornbread stuffing has become my children's favorite! Serve with chicken gravy.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup milk
½ cup chicken broth
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 eggs
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
2 cups corn bread stuffing, divided
5 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
cooking spray
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Mix milk and chicken broth together in a bowl.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until a thick, creamy paste forms. Whisk in milk mixture until sauce is thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add chicken; mix until coated with eggs. Mix in 1 cup corn bread stuffing and parsley. Stir in sauce until thoroughly combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap.
  • Freeze chicken mixture until firm enough to form into balls, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix remaining 1 cup corn bread stuffing and Parmesan cheese together in a bowl.
  • Scoop up a tablespoonful of chicken mixture; roll in corn bread-Parmesan mixture and form into a ball. Place on the greased baking dish. Repeat with chicken mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crisp, about 30 minutes.
