Chicken Pot Pie Croquettes
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 Carrot, Diced
- 1/4 cups Peas
- 1 Cooked Chicken Breast, Minced
- 2 cups Mashed Potato
- 1/2 teaspoons Onion Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tablespoons Flour
- Warm Gravy Dipping Sauce, To Serve
- 1/2 cups Flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1- 1/2 cup Panko
- Canola Oil, For Frying
- Heat butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add carrots and saute for about 2 minutes or until carrots begin to soften.
- Add peas and saute for another minute.
- Remove carrots and peas from heat and add to a large bowl.
- Add minced chicken, mashed potato, onion powder, and nutmeg.
- Season with salt and pepper and mix until combined.
- Add egg and flour and mix until combined.
- If mixture seems too wet, add another tablespoon of flour.
- Cover mixture and chill.
- For the coating, place flour, eggs and panko into three separate shallow bowls.
- Divide croquettes into 16 equal portions and form into balls (I used a small cookie scoop for this part).
- Coat each croquette in flour, then eggs, followed by panko.
- Heat oven to 200 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 inch of canola oil until shimmering but not smoking.
- Fry croquettes in batches, turning as necessary until all sides are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the croquettes to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm while frying the remaining croquettes.
- Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with warm gravy dipping sauce.
- Note: See the related blog post for a recipe for an irresistble gravy dipping sauce.
