I found this recipe several years ago in Paula's magazine. These Chicken Croquettes paired with a salad make an easy, delicious, and light summertime dinner.

Paula, Love your recipes. Just a note on this one in particular. As I am gluten intolerant and my husband has high cholesterol, I made a few adjustments and these croquettes were still delicious!! In place of the butter, I used fat free Pam Olive Oil spray. This worked perfectly for both the vegetables and the frying of the croquettes. Also, in place of the Panko bread crumbs, I used Rice Krispies. The only change I will make the next time is to crush the Rice Krispies before I use them. It was pretty funny though hearing them "snap, crackle, and pop" in the mix!! Thanks for this awesome recipe using chicken and with a few tweeks, it was a great meal for those of us who have to watch what we eat. Cheryl Hollingsworth
