     Title: Oven Chicken Croquettes
Categories: Croquette, Chicken
     Yield: 4 servings

     5 tb Butter
 1 1/4 c  Bread crumbs
     3 tb Flour
     3 tb Chopped fresh parsley
   1/2 c  Milk
   1/4 ts Salt
   1/2 c  Chicken broth
     2    Eggs; beaten
     2 c  Finely chopped cooked
          - chicken
   1/4 c  Grated parmesan cheese

 1. In a medium-size saucepan, melt 3 Tbsp. of butter over medium heat. Add
    flour and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes without browning. Gradually
    whisk in milk and broth and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and
    thickened. Remove from heat; let cool for 5 minutes.

 2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, 1 c. bread crumbs, parsley, salt and
    eggs. Mix well. Pour in sauce, blend, and cover. Chill for 2 hours,
    until set.

 3. Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine Parmesan cheese and remaining 1/4 c.
    bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Shape chicken mixture into 2 1/2 to 3
    inch balls, then roll into ovals (makes about 8). Roll croquettes in
    bread crumb mixture.

 4. Arrange croquettes in a greased 12x8x2-inch baking dish. Melt remaining
    2 Tbsp. butter and drizzle over croquettes. Bake 30 minutes, until
    golden brown.

 Note:I have successfully used cracker crumbs in place of bread crumbs. Hope
 you enjoy! These are well worth the work involved.
