Chicken Pom-Poms
These golden baked croquettes are a fun and different way to serve chicken to a crowd. My husband and I are hosts at a mission house where we cook for groups of 30 or more each week. this recipe is a favorite with guests.

My family LOVES these. I make them twice a year a least for the large family gatherings. At first I halved the recipe, thinking it was too much, but they get eaten so quickly and travel on picnics and hikes so well that I couldn't seem to make enough. We do not use as much dipping gravy. Maybe two cans for the whole recipe. They do not melt or fall apart at all for us. They are just perfect and my favorite large group recipe hands down. To answer your question SRRIECK I have to ask more questions, have you been adding the dipping gravy into the recipe? There is a large measure of gravy on the ingredient list that does NOT go into the recipe, but gets served warm on the side for pouring over the pom poms as you serve them. If you were to accidentally add thus gravy to the batter, i can see that flattening the balls completely. Another thought: Have you been cooking the sticky mix that holds it all together until it thickens like pudding? If you were to mix this without cooking until it thickens, it would be like mixing up a cook and serve pudding mix without it ever thickening over the low flame. I wait until mine gets SUPER thick and sticky even before I add the grated cheese, kind of like making a rue. Hope that helps.
Every time I've made these they sort of melt in the oven.They come out flat & not like a ball at all. I have refrigerated them then baked them & still no luck Can someone give me tips on what I can do to fix this?
