  • 60 g Breadcrumbs, dried

Steps

  1. Wash the chicken breasts and thoroughly dry them with paper towels. Cut them into approximately 2.5 cm pieces. Peel and crush the garlic cloves. Pour red wine into a bowl, add the chicken pieces and crushed garlic. Mix everything well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

  2. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Line a large baking dish with parchment paper. Spread breadcrumbs on a shallow plate and mix them with salt. Drain the chicken pieces well, then coat them in breadcrumbs. Place them on the prepared baking dish. Put a small piece of butter on each piece. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes. Halfway through baking, turn the chicken pieces to ensure they are cooked on both sides.

  3. Serve the chicken croquettes on plates and offer them with a side dish of your choice.
