Chicken Croquettes (Susan Hogan)

1/4 c celery, chopped

1 can mushrooms, drained and chopped

1/4 c onion, chopped

2 Tbsp butter .....3/4 c grateed cheddar cheese

4 Tbsp flour .......1/2 c crushed corn flakes

1/4 tsp pepper....... 1 & 1/2 c cooked rice ..... 1/3 cup sour cream

1 c milk ..... 1 & 1/2 c cooked chicken ..... 1 can cream of chicken soup

4 chicken boulion cubes

Saute celery, onion and mushrooms in butter until tender. Blend in flour and poultry seasoning (to taste, about 1-1&1/2 tsp) and pepper. Add milk and boulion cubes, stir until thickened. Cool.

In large bowl combine rice, chicken and cheese with cooled sauce. Using about 1/3 c of mixture, form a ball (croquette) and roll into crushed corn flakes. (I use crushed up Stove Top for extra flavoring).

Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 425 for 30min. While it is cooking combine cream of chicken soup with sour cream and poultry seasoning to taste. Heat til warm. Use as a dipping sauce for the crouettes. Makes about 10 croquettes.
