Cover with water and season with salt and pepper.

Bring to boil then reduce heat so water barley bubbles.

Combine Mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
17
Shape chicken croquettes mixture into 2 1/2-inch balls, then roll to form oval shapes; makes about 8.
18
Roll shaped croquettes in bread crumb mixture.
19
Arrange in a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.
20
Melt remaining butter and drizzle over chicken croquettes.
21
