Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon shortening
• ½ cup milk
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 tablespoon minced onion
• ¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1 ½ cups finely chopped, cooked chicken meat
• 2 tablespoons minced celery
• ¼ cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
• ⅛ tablespoon poultry seasoning
• ½ cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs, for rolling

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine 1/3 cup of the soup, chicken, bread crumbs, celery, onion and 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning. Mix well and shape into 6 croquettes (I make patties). Chill in refrigerator for about 1 hour.

Step 2

Remove croquettes from refrigerator and roll in additional bread crumbs. In a large skillet, melt 1 to 2 tablespoons shortening. Brown the croquettes in the shortening. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining soup, milk and 1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning. Heat over low, stirring occasionally. Serve sauce over croquettes.
