Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 white onion, diced
2 cups chicken, cooked, shredded
½ teaspoon paprika, or cayenne pepper
salt, to taste
4 oz cream cheese
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups whole milk
¼ cup chicken broth
2 cups all-purpose flour
egg
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, heat olive oil, then sauté garlic and onions until soft and brown. Add shredded chicken, salt, and paprika (or cayenne pepper). Stir to incorporate.

  • In the same pot, add butter, chicken broth, and milk. Bring to a boil. Stir in flour until dough is formed.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my coxinha turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I loved the flavor of these coxinha, but I found them to be a bit too greasy. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more seasoning to the chicken filling next time.
