Cook chicken in a pot of boiling water until fully cooked, about 15-20 minutes.

Shred the cooked chicken into small pieces and set aside.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add finely chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Gradually add milk, whisking until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes.

Add shredded chicken, parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and parsley; mix well until combined.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Form the cooled mixture into small balls or patties.

Dip each croquette in beaten eggs, then coat in bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with dipping sauce of choice.
