Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, mix 2 cups shredded chicken, 1 beaten egg, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Shape the mixture into 8 small croquettes, about 2 inches long. Roll each in the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 6-8 minutes total.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange 4 lettuce leaves on a plate and place the hot croquettes on top. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
