Chicken croquettes with vegetables

Chicken croquettes with vegetables are an exquisite French dish that combines the tenderness of chicken meat and the freshness of vegetables. These small, crispy balls with a soft and juicy center are perfect for a buffet or family dinner. The recipe is based on chicken fillet mixed with egg and corn flour, giving it airiness and lightness in texture. A spicy hint of chili adds zest to the flavor, but they can also be made without spices for children's preference. Fried to a golden crust, they acquire an appetizing aroma, and serving them on skewers with vegetables makes the dish visually appealing. They pair perfectly with sauces—from classic garlic to light yogurt. Croquettes are best enjoyed hot, savoring the crispy shell and tender meat inside.

- Chicken fillet: 500 g
2
Add an egg to the minced meat and mix.

Add corn flour (a tablespoon), salt, and a little chili. If children will eat the croquettes, it's better not to add chili. Mix well.

4
On a floured surface, roll balls slightly larger than a walnut. For each ball, take a teaspoon of the mixture of meat and spices.

5
Heat oil for frying in a saucepan. Drop in small batches of balls (5-7 pieces) and fry until light golden color for about 3 minutes.
6
Remove the cooked croquettes with a slotted spoon and place them on a towel or napkin to absorb excess fat.

Thus, prepare croquettes from all the minced meat.

Cut the pepper into squares about the size of a croquette. Wash and dry the cherry.

Skewer the croquettes on wooden sticks alternating with vegetables. It's best to eat croquettes right away while they are warm.
