Chicken croquettes, (as we call in Italy, crocchette di pollo) are a tasty white meat appetizer, easy to make and much loved by children who can eat chicken in a different way. It is a classic preparation with egg and breadcrumbs, very nutritious and excellent for any occasion, both for the family and for guests. They are also excellent as a main course for your children, perhaps accompanied by a salad of lettuce or in any case with fresh side dishes. Also good with sauces such as mayonnaise and ketchup.
