Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
• 1 stalk Celery, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 0 Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken breast, Greek yogurt, grated carrot, chopped celery, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, place the whole wheat breadcrumbs for dredging.

Step 3

Beat the egg in a small bowl to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Take about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture and shape it into a ball, then flatten it slightly to form a croquette. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.

Step 5

Dip each croquette first into the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off, and then coat it evenly with the breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Set a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil spray.

Step 7

Add the croquettes to the skillet, ensuring they do not touch each other, and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.

Step 8

Serve hot with a side of your choice, such as a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
