Preparation

Cook peas in boiling water for 3 minutes and drain. Finely shred chicken. Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in 40 g flour and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually add milk while stirring constantly. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until a very thick sauce forms. Stir in chicken, peas, parsley, salt and pepper.
Spread mixture onto a plate, cover directly with film and chill for at least 1 hour until firm.
Shape cold mixture into 12 small logs. Coat first in 60 g flour, then beaten eggs and finally breadcrumbs. Press crumbs on lightly.
Heat oil to 180C. Fry 3 or 4 croquettes at a time for 3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
