Directions
In a small skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil and sauté onions and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, breadcrumbs, parsley, Italian seasoning, lemon zest and cheese. Gently stir in sautéed onions and garlic, eggs and milk or broth, adding more liquid as needed until the mixture can be formed into patties. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
To make croquettes, fill a 1/3-cup dry measuring cup with chicken mixture. Invert onto a work surface and gently form into a patty. Repeat procedure with remaining mixture.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add croquettes and cook 4 minutes or until bottoms are golden. Carefully flip over and cook 4 minutes more or until bottoms are golden and croquettes are heated thoroughly.
