Step 1
Boil the 1 lb chicken breast in salted water until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Shred and set aside.
Step 2
In a pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in 1 cup flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk, stirring until thick, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Mix in the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool, then chill for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into 12 croquettes. Dip each in 2 beaten eggs, then coat with 1 cup breadcrumbs.
Step 6
Heat 2 cups oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 7
Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
