Preparation

Step 1
Poach the chicken breasts in very little water until the meat is very tender and can be easily removed from the bones.
Step 2
Pass chicken and onion through a coarse grinder and mix with beef, matzoh meal, eggs, dill, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Step 3
Break off egg-sized pieces of the mixture and shape into round, slightly flattened croquettes. Saute gently in olive oil until well browned on both sides. Serve hot or cold.
