Ingredients

 Butter/Margarine5 Tablespoon
 Yellow onion1 Small, peeled, finely chopped
 Dried thyme1/2 Teaspoon, crumbled
 Dried marjoram1/2 Teaspoon, crumbled
 Cooked chicken2 Cup (16 tbs), finely chopped
 All purpose flour2 Tablespoon
 Parsley2 Tablespoon, minced
 1 tablespoon Dijon or prepared spicy brown mustard
 Salt1 Teaspoon
 Black pepper1/8 Teaspoon
 Milk2 Tablespoon
 1 egg, lightly beaten
 Parmesan and romano cheese1/4 Cup (16 tbs), grated

Directions

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy 12-inch skillet. Add the onion, and cook over moderate heat until soft—about 5 minutes. Blend in the thyme and marjoram, and cook 1 minute more. Stir in the chicken, flour, parsley, mustard, salt, pepper, and milk, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the egg and cheese.
2. Pour the mixture into a buttered 8"x 8"x 2" pan, spreading it evenly. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes, or until stiff enough to shape.
3. Take the pan from the freezer and shape the mixture into 4 oval patties.
4. Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in the skillet over moderately high heat and brown the croquettes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
