Leftover Chicken Croquettes
  1. 1

    Gather all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  3. 3

    Combine the chicken, bread crumbs, and two eggs in a large bowl; stir in the onion until well combined. If the mixture is too dry to form patties, mix in the remaining egg. Mix in the parsley, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Shape the mixture into small patties.

  5. 5

    Wipe out the skillet; add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the patties until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
