Family Favorite: Chipotle Chicken Croquettes with Spicy Mustard Sauce

I got this recipe from Eat Yourself Skinny. You should definitely check out this site. A lot of great recipes tweeked to a healthy version.

I'm always trying to find new things to make with chicken and something different for dinner. I discovered this recipe along with many others and had to give it ago. It was a huge hit for our family!

Chipotle Chicken Croquettes with Spicy Mustard Sauce
2 tbsp butter, divided
1/3 cup minced red bell pepper
1/3 cup minced orange bell pepper
1/3 cup minced onion
3 cupes chopped cooked chicken
1 1/2 cupes whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup light mayo
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp chipotle mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Mrs. Dash southwest chipotle seasoning
1 tsp seasoned salt

Spicy Mustard Sauce

1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup light mayo
1/2 cup light sour cream
1 tbsp chipotle mustard
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp Mrs. Dash southwest chipotle seasoning

For the sauce, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl and chill in the fridge for about 2 hours before serving.

Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add minced bell peppers and onion. Saute for about 5 minutes or until tender.

In a large bowl, combine together the chopped cooked chicken, breadcrumbs, and bell pepper mixture and set aside. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayo, eggs, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, seasonings, and salt. Add to the chicken mix, tossing to combine. For the mixture into patties.

In a large skillet, melt the rest of the butter over medium heat. Cook the chicken croquettes until browned, about 3-5 minutes on each side. Serve with the spicy mustard sauce and ta da...enjoy!

I forgot to take a picture of the spicy mustard sauce, but it is soooo good. I added a extra drop or two of the chipotle mustard and Mrs. Dash southwest chipotle seasoning to mine to give it an extra punch! I found it's been a great dip for other meats as well.

Xoxo.
