3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1/3 cups milk, divided
2 Tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups very finely chopped chicken
1 cup dry bread, crumbs

Directions:

In a large saucepan, sauté  onion and celery in 3 tablespoons butter until tender.

Combine flour and 1 cup milk. Gradually add to pan. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add parsley, seasonings and chicken. Remove from heat, chill until completely cooled.

Shape chicken mixture into 6 patties using about 1/3 cup mixture for each patty.

Place crumbs and remaining milk in separate shallow bowls.Roll patties in crumbs, then milk, then crumbs again.

In a large skillet melt remaining butter & cook patties over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve on rolls with lettuce and tomato, if desired.
