Baked Chicken Croquettes

Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a pan with a little olive oil over low heat.

Once the onion becomes translucent, add the chopped chicken, stirring to combine the ingredients.

Add the flour, and while stirring continuously, gradually add the chicken broth until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.

Add the milk and continue stirring until a dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the pan. Season with salt and nutmeg.

The dough is ready when you tilt the pan and the mixture slides off without sticking.

Transfer the dough onto a tray and let it cool.

Shape the croquettes into oval forms.

Dip each croquette into the beaten egg and then coat it with breadcrumbs.

Place the croquettes on a baking tray brushed with olive oil.

Bake the croquettes until golden brown and cooked through.
