MMMMM-------------------------EQUIPMENT------------------------------
           Saucepan
           Whisk
           Wooden spoon
           Clean plates
           Baking sheet
           Paper towels
 
  Rinse the chicken breasts and set them on a paper towel to dry.
  Preheat the oven to 400°F/205°C. Put the chicken on a greased
  baking sheet and sprinkle it with salt, black pepper and cayenne
  pepper, then add the thyme leaves.
  
  Place the baking sheet into the oven for 15 minutes to roast the
  chicken breasts.
  
  Place the butter in a heated saucepan. Once melted, add the onion,
  salt, pepper and celery. Cook for two minutes. Add the garlic and
  cook for an additional minute.
  
  Add the flour to the butter, stirring it to coat the vegetables.
  Continue stirring the mixture consistently for four more minutes.
  Pour in the warmed milk while whisking, then simmer on the stovetop
  for about eight minutes.
  
  Chop up the roasted chicken into large pieces. Put the pieces into
  a food processor and pulse until the chicken is finely chopped. Put
  the pieces into a bowl, then add the saucepan contents. Add the
  chopped parsley and stir it up to mix thoroughly. The best way to
  combine the mixture is to knead it with your hands.
  
  Create and mold the mixture into small balls. Roll each ball in the
  panko bread crumbs and place them on wax paper that is on a baking
  sheet. Place in the refrigerator to let the croquettes set for
  about one hour before you deep-fry them.
  
  Place each croquette into the deep fryer (make sure it is at least
  350°F/175°C) and cook them until the croquettes are golden brown.
  If you prefer them to be darker, keept them in the fryer a couple
  minutes longer. Remove the croquettes from the deep fryer and set
  on a clean plate.
  
  Tip: Top with creamed mushrooms if desired for added flavor.
