Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 1 cup uncooked shredded sweet potato
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked chicken or turkey
- breast
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
Preparation
Step 1
Directions:
In large nonstick skillet over high heat, heat the oil. Add the swet potato, onion and red bell pepper. Saute until vegetables are tender - about 5 minutes.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Wipe out skillet and set aside: Add the chicken, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper; then stir to combine. Add the egg whites and sour cream. Then stir again. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Divide the chicken mixture into 12 balls, using about 2 heaping TSP per ball. Roll the balls in the breadcrumbs to coat. Return the skillet to medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. When the pan is hot, add 6 of the balls, flattening them into patties with a spatula. Cook until golden brown on both sides - 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer croquettes to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Coat skillet with additional cooking spray and repeat with remaining balls. Serve with red pepper relish (filed under sauces).
