Comforting Chicken Croquettes

"There is nothing that says comfort food like a nice hot plate of chicken croquettes with mashed potatoes and gravy. This is such a plain and simple recipe, but it tastes sooo good! I use my food processor to chop the cooked chicken along with the onion and parsley.. I just pulse it a few times and it's ready. (Sorry for shouting the recipe to you.. lol)"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hmm... let's see.. Cooking is my passion... I'm retired now and able to cook and bake every day. I think the most helpful cookbook that I own would have to be The New Doubleday Cookbook. I just love kitchen gadgets and have many of them. Besides cooking I love to sing and belong to the Sweet Adeline's International. I get very annoyed at people who are LATE! I think it's just as easy to be late as it is to be on time. Well.. thanks to all of you at Zaar for all of your terrific recipes and ideas that bring my friends and family much joy and happiness. They get to try all of my new recipes.
