There are so many ways that you can cook chicken. This dish was a classic dish prepared by the ole’ Cajun farmers wives when the workers and her husband came out of the fields.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp butter or margarine
- 2 cups diced chicken
- 1/8 tsp celery salt
- 1/8 tsp onion salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk
- Sifted dry bread crumbs
- Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Mix the flour and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually add the milk. Add the butter and cook over moderate heat (keep stirring) until thick.
Step 2
Then add the 2 cups diced chicken and celery salt. Cool.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and milk together.
Step 4
Shape the chicken mixture into croquettes. Roll first in the breadcrumbs then in the beating egg mixture and again in the crumbs. Chill in refrigerator.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a deep pan to 375 degrees (hot enough to brown a one inch cube of bread in 40 seconds). Use enough oil to fill the pan then place the croquettes in a wire basket until golden brown.
