Broccoli And Cheddar Stuffing Croquettes Recipes

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl then add 2 tablespoons water. Cover the bowl (a large plate works best) then microwave for 2 minutes. Remove the broccoli to paper towels, drain very well and let cool slightly.
• Chop the broccoli into small, pea-sized pieces then return it to the bowl. Add the Cheddar, cream cheese, chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir until well combined.
• Arrange the chicken breasts on a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket horizontally into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through to the other side.
• Divide the broccoli mixture among the chicken breasts, pressing it firmly into each pocket.
• Season the outsides of the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, salt, pepper and any other preferred spices.
• Divide the olive oil among two ovenproof skillets set over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add 2 of the chicken breasts to each skillet. Cook the chicken until seared on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip it once and cook until seared on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the skillets to the oven and continue cooking the chicken breasts until the thickest part of each breast reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and serve.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and just cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 14-16 mins until completely cooked through. Drain and mash well, then put back in the saucepan over a low heat and cook for 1-2 mins, stirring constantly - this will remove excess moisture.
• Meanwhile, bring a small saucepan of water to the boil, add the broccoli and simmer for 6-7 mins until tender. Drain really well and pat dry with kitchen paper (it's important to do this thoroughly as excess water will make the croquettes a little wet). Finely chop the broccoli, then add to the mashed potato with the egg yolk, cheese and breadcrumbs. Divide the mixture into 12 equal balls and roll each one into a short sausage shape. Chill for 10 mins in the freezer.
• Meanwhile, make the dip. Put the cream cheese, yogurt and chives in a bowl and stir to a soft consistency, adding the milk if needed.
• Put the flour, beaten eggs and sesame seeds in three separate bowls. Roll the croquettes in the flour, dip in the beaten egg, then roll in the sesame seeds.
• Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and fry the croquettes on a low-medium heat for 4-5 mins, turning frequently for an even, golden colour. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the cream cheese dip.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Bring water and butter to boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add stuffing mix; stir. Cover. Remove from heat; let stand 5 min.
• Combine remaining ingredients in large bowl. Add stuffing; mix lightly.
• Spoon into 12 muffin pan cups sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 20 min. or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Cook broccoli in a large pot of salted boiling water until just slightly tender. Drain.
• In a large bowl, combine eggs, onion, mushroom soup and mayonnaise.
• Place a layer of broccoli in the prepared baking dish. Pour mayonnaise sauce over broccoli. Spread stuffing mix over the sauce. Drizzle butter or margarine over all and top with shredded cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to fill the pan about 3 inches deep. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 325 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, line a second rimmed baking sheet or plate with paper towels and set a cooling rack inside a third rimmed baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Place the stuffing in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until slightly broken up but still with chunks, 4 to 5 times.
• Scrape the stuffing into a large bowl. Whisk the egg and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Stir the egg mixture into the stuffing with a fork. Add the flour and use a rubber spatula or your hands to incorporate it until no streaks remain.
• Place the panko in a shallow baking dish. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out a portion of the stuffing mixture. Flatten the scoop slightly with your hands, then place a cube of mozzarella in the center. Bring the stuffing up over the cheese to enclose it; if the mixture sticks to your hands, spray them with a little cooking spray. Form the croquette into a football shape. Roll the croquette in the panko, pressing slightly to adhere. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining stuffing and mozzarella; you should get 10 to 12 croquettes.
• Use a spider to gently lower half of the croquettes into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the Dutch oven. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Let the croquettes drain for a minute, then transfer them to the baking sheet with the wire rack and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Bring the oil back to 325 degrees F, then repeat with the remaining croquettes.
• Serve the croquettes on a platter with leftover gravy or mustard.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Mix cream cheese, broccoli, cheddar and 1 Tbsp. vinaigrette until blended. Place chicken, smooth sides down, on work surface; spread with cream cheese mixture. Starting at one short end, tightly roll up each breast. Secure with wooden toothpicks, if desired.
• Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Pour remaining vinaigrette into shallow dish; place crushed stuffing in separate shallow dish. Dip chicken roll-ups, 1 at a time, into vinaigrette, then into stuffing, turning to evenly coat all sides of each roll-up with each ingredient. Place, seam sides down, on prepared baking sheet; drizzle with butter.
• Bake 35 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF). Remove and discard toothpicks before serving chicken.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. 2. Cook the broccoli according to package directions. Drain well, allow to cool, and mince. 3. Combine the minced broccoli with all of the remaining ingredients except the butter or margarine. Then stir in the butter or margarine. 4. Using a tablespoon, shape the stuffing mixture into eight 1 1/2-inch ovals or cylinders, and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
