Comforting Chicken Croquettes

There is nothing that says comfort food like a nice hot plate of chicken croquettes with mashed potatoes and gravy. This is such a plain and simple recipe, but it tastes sooo good! I use my food processor to chop the cooked chicken along with the onion and parsley.. I just pulse it a few times and it's ready. (sorry for shouting the recipe to you.. Lol)

Steps

Melt butter in saucepan over low heat.
Blend in flour , salt and pepper.
Cook over low heat , stirring until mixture is smooth and bubbly.
Remove from heat.
Stir in milk.
Heat to boiling , stirring constantly.
Boil and stir 1 minute.
Prepare thick white sauce.
Stir in meat , 1 tablespoon minced onion and the parsley.
Season with salt and pepper.
Spread mixture in ungreased square pan , 8x8x2 inches , but you want to use a shallow pan to the mixture can completely cool to make it easier to handle.
Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
Mix egg and water.
Shape croquettes and dip in egg , and then breadcrumbs to cover.
Chill again.
Heat fat or oil to 365 degrees in deep fat fryer or kettle.
Fry croquettes in hot fat 1-1 / 2 to 2 minutes or until light brown.
