Chicken Croquettes

In a food processor, blend the chicken, the cooked vegetables, milk, and cheddar cheese. You will have a wet crumble. Add the rice or mashed potatoes and mix by hand.

Form this mixture into small balls, roughly a tablespoonful each. Using these measurements, we made about a dozen.

Combine the bread crumbs or panko and the parmesan cheese to create the coating. Roll the wet balls into the the coating. Flatten gently.

Heat oil in pan over medium high heat and pan fry the croquettes until each side is golden brown. Serve hot.

Keep in mind, you can use any meat (the restaurant we love also uses ham and cheese). The best vegetables are the root vegetables or the squashes.

This is truly a delicious way to use up leftovers.
