Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 large boneless chicken thighs
1 slice bread
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
2 green onions, Chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley
salt & pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 large roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons capers
salt & pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/3 cup olive oil
1 dash balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • To Make The Croquettes:
  • Either finely chop the chicken pieces, parsley and onions, or place in a food processor and pulse.
  • Tear the slice of bread into pieces and place in a bowl.
  • Pour the milk over the bread, and let sit a minute or two.
  • Squeeze the bread of excess milk and place the bread in with the chicken mixture.
  • Add the remaining ingredients except the bread crumbs, and using your hands mix very well. If the mixture is too soft to form into croquettes, refrigerate one hour.
  • Shape the croquettes into 3 inch discs or tubes, and roll in the bread crumbs.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F. for about 20 to 30 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown in color.
  • To Make The Sauce:.
  • Place all the sauce ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor.
  • Pulse a few times until you have a finely chopped mixture.
  • Do not blend!
  • Add half the olive oil and pulse.
  • Check the consistancy of the sauce. It should be thick, but still be loose.
  • Add the rest of the oil if needed.
  • Serve the croquettes on individual plates with a spoonful of sauce mixture on top or in a small dish on the side.
