- 60 ml (1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley

Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, chives and 125 ml of breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Shape the mixture into small balls or patties. Roll each croquette in the panko breadcrumbs to coat.

- Transfer the croquettes to paper towels to remove excess oil.
