I grew up on boxed Weaver's Chicken Croquettes, but can not find them anymore. My kids had never had them so I decided to try this recipe, and they turned out so much better than the store bought. I used butter in place of the shortening, just because I never use shortening. I served it with mashed potatoes and it truly did take me back to my childhood.

My family thought the poultry seasoning was a little too much. I will make these again, (actually, my eight-year-old cooked tonight; he's a good cook) but will cut the poultry seasoning and maybe leave it out of the gravy all together.

I went to the store last week in search of the old Weaver frozen chicken croquettes after my husband and I got a craving for them, but found out they are no longer made. I immediately searched online and found this recipe. We tried them today and everyone LOVED them, including my 7 and 10 year old! I did saute the onions and celery with some sazon and put those along w/ the chicken and 2 bouillon cubes into the food processor before adding the soup. I also coated them before refrigerator and dredged in egg whites and coated again before frying. They still fell apart when flipping. That's the reason for the 4 stars. We baked 2 of them to see the taste difference & to lighten them up. While the 2 baked ones only had one coat of breadcrumbs the coating was a little "gummy." Still very good and I will continue to tweak this until we get it just right! Overall, I'd definitely recommend.

These are very easy to make and good. Will make them again. I used turkey that I had leftover from my Sunday dinner.

This has to be the best chicken croquette recipe I have ever tried. The fact that you can make them the same day as you make them instead of putting them in the fridge overnight makes it a lot better. I would recommend this recipe to all my friends. Today I made them with leftover turkey.

Very good and simple recipe. I will be making it a lot since I have plenty of leftover turkey. The only thing I changed was to use cream of mushroom soup since it was what I had on hand.

This is the good and quick way, but it's better if you make your own chicken cream sauce and use oven roasted chicken breasts seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, then when the skin is crisped up, you eat it before you cut the chicken breasts up!!!!

In Holland where I was born, Croquettes were a common thing to enjoy. Adding soup, or gravy to the mix adds a lot of flavour--we also add all sorts of chopped veggies from onions to carrots and red bell peppers, which we pre-cook a bit before adding them. You can make them using any type of left over meat even ham, roast pork etc. and make veggie versions too! We also deep fry them and double bread them using a egg/milk mixture. Great stuff!

I had not had chicken croquettes in years - but I used to love them! I did not use your exact measurements; I just kind of wanted a guide to remember exactly what to put in them. I would not have thought to use cream of chicken soup, but it worked quite nicely. I also didn't have poultry seasoning, so I used my own favorite "Thanksgiving blend" - which is essentially the same thing. ;) Thanks so much for sharing! These will be a new regular meal at our house!
