Chicken-Almond Croquettes

Melt the butter, blend in the flour, and add the milk. Cook, stirring with a wire whisk, until the mixture boils and thickens.

Add the chicken, almonds, onion, parsley, one egg, the sherry, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Chill.

Use one-quarter cup of the mixture to shape a croquette—cone or cylinder or as desired.
