Egg Free, Dairy Free Chicken Croquettes

I loved chicken croquettes when I was growing up. I came up with this recipe a few years ago so Jazlyn could have them too. However, this time I ground the chicken with the gravy. The result was a taste and texture that was exactly how I remembered them.

Chicken Croquettes

4 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken or turkey
1 can gravy (I used turkey gravy)
1/2 cup bread crumbs (I used this recipe for our homemade bread crumbs), plus extra for rolling
1/3 cup dairy free margarine

Place the chicken and gravy in a blender then blend until finely ground, adding a little extra gravy, soy milk or broth if needed. Combine the chicken and gravy mixture with the bread crumbs until thoroughly combined, using extra bread crumbs as needed for the mixture to hold together. Shape into croquettes then roll in additional bread crumbs to thoroughly coat. If the mixture is too difficult to shape, chill it in the fridge or freezer for a little. Melt the margarine in a large skillet. Add the croquettes then cook and turn until browned on all sides.
*  If desired, you can keep the chicken shredded or finely diced instead of grinding it in the blender.
