Old-Fashioned Chicken Croquettes

 

3 tb Margarine

1/4 c All-purpose flour

1/2 c Chicken broth

1/2 c Evaporated skim milk

1/2 ts Salt

1/4 ts Black pepper

1 ts Lemon juice

1 ts Chopped onions

2 c Cooked chicken -- minced

3 tb Pimientos -- chopped

1 ds Ground nutmeg

1 Egg yolk -- beaten

1 c Button mushrooms -- whole

1 c Bread crumbs

1 Egg Canola oil

 

 

Make sure the bread or cracker crumbs are finely crushed. Melt

margarine in a skillet. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly,

until light brown. Gradually stir in the chicken broth and milk. Stir

constantly over low heat until mixture is thick. Blend in all the

remaining ingredients except crumbs, whole egg and the oil. Allow the

mixture to cool.

 

Place crumbs in a plate and the whole beaten egg in a small bowl.

Shape the mixture into croquettes. Dip first in the crumbs, then into

the beaten egg and again in the crumbs. Have the oil about 3-4 inches

deep and heat until very hot. Fry the croquettes until browned. Drain

well on paper towels. Serve the croquettes with a white sauce and if

desired also cooked vegetables such as green peas.
