List of Ingredients



• 4 Large Boneless Chicken Thighs or 3 boneless breasts
  
• 1 Slice Bread
  
• 1/4 Cup Milk
  
• 1 Egg
  
• 2 Green Onions, Chopped Into Pieces
  
• 1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley
  
• Salt & Pepper
  
• 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
  
• Oil For Frying
  
• 1 Cup Bread Crumbs
  
• Roasted Pepper Sauce:
  
• One Large Red Pepper
  
• One Large Yellow Pepper
  
• Two Tablespoons Capers
  
• Salt & Pepper
  
• 1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley
  
• 1/4 to 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  
• Dash Of Balsamic Vinegar
  






Instructions



1. To Make The Croquettes: Either finely chop the chicken pieces, parsley and onions, or place in a food processor and pulse. Tear the slice of bread into pieces and place in a bowl. Pour the milk over the bread, and let sit a minute or two. Squeeze the bread of excess milk and place the bread in with the chicken mixture. Add the remaining ingredients except the bread crumbs, and using your hands mix very well. If the mixture is too soft to form into croquettes, refrigerate one hour.
   
   
2. Shape the croquettes into 3 inch discs or tubes, and roll in the bread crumbs. Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan to a depth of 2 inches until it reaches 375 degrees F. Carefully drop the croquettes into the pan, and cook, turning as each side browns until they are a deep golden brown and cooked through.
   
   
3. To Make The Sauce: Roast the peppers following the instructions in this Roasted Pepper recipe. Place all the sauce ingredients including the peppers, except the olive oil in a food processor. Pulse a few times until you have a finely chopped mixture. Do not blend! Add half the olive oil and pulse. Check the consistancy of the sauce. It should be thick, but still be loose. Add the rest of the oil if needed.
   Serve the croquettes on individual plates with a spoonful of sauce mixture on top, or place them on a platter and serve the sauce in a small bowl in the center of the platter.
