Chicken, Goat Cheese, and Spinach Croquettes

Here are the ingredients you'll need

• 100g cornstarch
• 100g cooked shredded chicken
• 70g goat cheese
• 1 onion
• 1 handful fresh spinach
• 600ml plant-based milk
• Ground nutmeg
• Himalayan pink salt
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Whole wheat breadcrumbs
• Eggs

Equipment

• Air fryer

Method

1. 1In a small pot, gently sauté the finely diced onion with a drizzle of olive oil over low heat.
2. 2Once softened, add the cornstarch and cook for a minute, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.
3. 3Pour in the plant-based milk, and add the nutmeg, salt to taste, and pepper.
4. 4Mix everything well with a whisk so the cornstarch dissolves completely and no lumps form.
5. 5For the dough to turn out smooth, take your time and don't stop whisking.
6. 6When it begins to thicken, fold in the shredded chicken and keep stirring.
7. 7Turn off the heat and stir in the crumbled goat cheese along with the finely chopped tender spinach leaves.
8. 8Mix everything thoroughly and spread the dough onto a shallow dish or tray.
9. 9Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface of the dough. Chill in the fridge until the next day (about 24 hours).
10. 10Shape into croquettes and dredge them in breadcrumbs, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs again.
11. 11At this stage, you can cook them straight away or freeze them.
12. 12I cook mine in an oil-free Actifry air fryer, but you can also bake them in the oven or fry them.
13. 13Done! Now we can enjoy our CHICKEN, GOAT CHEESE, AND SPINACH CROQUETTES.
