About Croqueta de pollo

Croqueta De Pollo is a savory Spanish delicacy made by blending shredded chicken with a creamy béchamel sauce, forming bite-sized cylindrical shapes, coating them in breadcrumbs, and frying them to golden perfection. Originating from Spain, these croquettes offer a delightful combination of crispy exterior and soft, flavorful filling. While chicken provides a good source of lean protein, the frying process adds fat and calories, making them a less healthy option when consumed frequently. Alternatives like baking or using an air fryer can reduce the oil content while preserving the croqueta’s signature crunch. Commonly enjoyed as tapas or snacks, Croqueta De Pollo is also rich in carbohydrates due to the béchamel and breadcrumbs, making them an energy-dense choice. Adding herbs like parsley or pairing them with fresh side dishes can boost their nutritional profile while still savoring their comforting taste.
