Ingredients
½ chicken breast
Salt
Onion
2 bay leaves
6 potatoes
⅓ onion, finely chopped
½ red bell pepper, finely chopped

Cilantro
2 Tbsp of corn starch

Instructions
In a pot, cook the chicken breast with salt, a piece of onion, and the bay leaves until fully cooked and tender. Shred the chicken and set aside.
In another pot, boil the potatoes with a little salt until soft. Once cooked, peel and mash well.
Add the shredded chicken to the mashed potatoes, then mix in the finely chopped onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, cilantro, corn starch, and eggs.
Add the Spanglish Asadero Golden Garlic seasoning and paprika. Mix everything well until fully combined.
Form small balls with the mixture. Place a small piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each ball and seal tightly.
In a bowl, prepare a batter by mixing the flour, Spanglish Asadero Golden Garlic seasoning, and water until slightly runny.
Dip each croquette into the batter, then coat with panko or breadcrumbs.
Heat a pan with plenty of oil over medium-high heat. Fry the croquettes until golden brown on both sides.
Remove from the oil, place on paper towels, and they're ready to enjoy!
