🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Canned chicken is cost-effective and saves prep time.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Crushed crackers provide a similar texture at a lower cost.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Water with seasoning is a budget-friendly alternative.

Cook the chicken breasts in a pressure cooker with water, salt, pepper, onion, garlic powder, and onion powder on medium heat.

Once the pressure is released, cook for 20 minutes, then turn off and let the pressure release naturally.

Strain the water from the chicken, reserving it for the dough.

Return the chicken to the pressure cooker and shake to shred the chicken.

In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with tomato sauce and soy sauce, and mix well.

In a pot, combine the reserved water, butter, and salt; bring to a boil until the butter melts.

Reduce to low heat and add the flour, mixing until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pot and forms a smooth dough.

Transfer the dough to a smooth surface and let it cool until manageable.

Once cool, knead the dough slightly, then take a portion to form a ball and flatten it in your hand.

Add a spoonful of the chicken filling to the center and close the dough around it, forming a croquette.

Repeat the process until all dough and filling are used up.

Dip each croquette in cold water, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Deep fry the croquettes in hot oil until golden brown.
