Chicken Croquettes

Ingredients

• 3 cups chopped cooked chicken (no skin; a rotisserie bird works well here)
• ½ cup minced celery
• ¼ cup minced Vidalia onion
• ¼ cup minced green bell pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 Tbsp. heavy cream
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 4 Tbsp. (½ stick) unsalted butter

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, mix together 3 cups chopped cooked chicken (no skin; a rotisserie bird works well here), ½ cup minced celery, ¼ cup minced Vidalia onion, and ¼ cup minced green bell pepper.
2. In a small bowl, stir together 2 large eggs and 2 Tbsp. heavy cream. Fold it into the chicken and vegetables and season with ½ tsp. kosher salt and ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper. The mixture will be thick. Form the mixture into 4 round patties 3" across.
3. In a heavy skillet, melt 4 Tbsp. (½ stick) unsalted butter over medium heat just until foamy. Add the croquettes and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Serve hot.
