Chicken croquettes

Fry the chicken breast fillet in a pan in olive oil, season with pepper and salt. Peel the garlic, place it in a garlic press, and press it over the meat. Remove the fillet and let it cool. Heat the butter in a saucepan. Sprinkle in the flour and let it turn golden brown, then slowly add the milk. Whisk continuously to avoid lumps. Puree the fillet and stir it into the sauce. Season the mixture generously with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Let it cool and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Beat the egg on a plate, then place the flour and breadcrumbs on two other plates. With floured hands, form the croquettes into croquettes. First coat the croquettes in flour, then coat them in the egg, and finally coat them in the breadcrumbs. Fry the croquettes in batches in a pan in oil for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper. Can be served hot or cold.
