Units
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1/3 cup olive oil, for frying
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, turmeric powder, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, diced onion, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Place the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs on a separate plate.
- Shape the chicken mixture into small oval croquettes.
- Lightly coat each croquette in the remaining breadcrumbs.
- Fry the croquettes in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm while crisp on the outside and tender inside.
Notes
- Chill the mixture for 20 minutes before shaping to help them hold together.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even browning.
- Maintain medium heat to avoid burning the coating.
- Reheat in the oven to restore crispness instead of microwaving.
