Wow! These were just as I remember Horn & Hardarts croquettes tasting. My Husband went wild. They were delicious -- tender and light. I have to agree with the commenter who told people who thought it was too floury that you must cook the flour with the butter for a few (3 minutes. Any real cook would know from just reading the recipe that it would take some time -- thats half the fun of cooking something special. Also to the "cook" who complained that it wasn't cooked thru -- my advise is get a frying thermometer or don't fry.

These are fabulous and my family asks me to make them at least once a week!!!! I added shallots to mine and loved the rich flavor it gave.

My Granny wanted Chicken Croquetes and I wanted to make them like the ones she had in a restaurant years ago at the beach. After scouring the web and finding mostly recipes that more closely resebled salmon cakes, I found this one which *looked* like the taste I was going after. It was positively perfect!! The only thing I did was add 2 stalks of celery instead of one, I used ground chicken meat and cooked it like you would hamburger meat - no oil or anything, and I increased the butter in the croquette batter to equal amount of butter and flour. Other than that, I followed the recipe to a T, and it came out perfect. For those who got a floury taste, most likely you didnt cook your flour long enough. I got rave reviews from both Granny and my dad who I brought a plateful to as well. It took about an hour and a half to two hours from start to finish so its not the kind of dish you want to try to whisk together quickly during the week, but on the weekend when you can just take your time, it's perfect. I have shared this recipe with a few folks already and plan to make it many more times in the future! :+

Tasted the Dining Car's Salmon Croquettes they came out burnt and bland. Flour taste to the white sauce. I see why people needed to spice them up.

I made this (bc a friend of mine served it and it was great. After making it myself for the 1st time, it was a lot of work w/ little taste. I was disappointed but determined to make it better. I made it again adding more seasoning to the chicken when cooking it. I think the textures are nice and it's not as floury as it was the 1st time I made it. This is a cozy meal that I will add to my 'long meals' routines.

To really improve this recipe, season the chicken before you cook it. Then after you process it in the food processor taste to see if it needs more seasoning. Season to taste. I added sage, poultry seasoning, onion powder, and black pepper to the other seasonings. I seasoned both the chicken and broth with this. I also shaped the patties smaller more like how you would shape crab cakes or salmon croquettes.

It is worth it with some easy adjustments. I served mine with cranberry sauce along with the potatoes for a thanksgiving style meal.

I have to wonder if Food Network tested this recipe before they added it to the website. With eleven dirty pans at the end, not to mention the food processor, this was the worst meal I have EVER prepared for my family. Way too much work for a tasteless pile of mush. If I had not made my own chicken gravy recipe, I doubt we would have been able to choke it down. If you are not certain this is what you grew up eating, do not waste the time, effort and chicken to try it. I feel pity for the people who grew up eating like this and cannot believe this sells in a restaurant. I am really disappointed in Food Network for this recipe. I was embarrassed to serve this, thanked God nobody dropped in and made brownies to assuage my guilt over it!

I have never had croquettes before. My husband, whom it French-Canadian, grew up eating them. I decided to give them a try. He said they tasted just like he remebers them. Never having them before, they were a little weird. The middle is still mushy, not cooked through. They tasted much better drenched in gravy. I will not be adding these to our meal rotation.

I saw this recipe on diners, dives, and drive in and made it the next day! I've never had chicken croquettes until I made them and I must say they were great. Instead of a whole stalk of celery I used 1/2, and added 1/2 an onion. Next time I'm going to add corn to the croquettes.
