Directions

Combine chicken, soft bread crumbs, eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, onion, green pepper, salt, savory, pepper and almonds in medium size bowl; chill about 2 hours.
Shape into 8 cylindrical croquettes, each 1 inch in diameter; roll in fine dry bread crumbs; dip in 1/2 cup milk; roll again in crumbs; brush off loose crumbs.
Heat fat in deep heavy kettle to 365° or 375° (a 1 inch cube of bread will brown in about 1 minute).
Fry croquettes, 2 or 3 at a time, 2 minutes, or until golden brown; drain on absorbent paper.
