Where to find ingredients
Shredded chicken can be prepared by boiling and shredding chicken breasts or thighs. Bacon or beef bouillon cubes are typically found in the soup or international aisles of most supermarkets. Creamy cheese spread is usually located in the dairy or cheese section. All-purpose flour, eggs, butter, oil, salt, pepper, and standard fresh herbs like parsley and chives are widely available in any grocery store. Potatoes and onions are staple produce items found in the fresh produce section. Breadcrumbs are typically in the baking aisle.
Preparation method
- For the filling, heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion
- Add the shredded chicken and seasonings, sautéing for approximately 5 minutes
- Remove from heat, mix in the creamy cheese spread, and set the filling aside
- In another large pan, combine the water, milk, bouillon cubes, mashed potato, and butter
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat
- Add the all-purpose flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the dough pulls away from the bottom of the pan
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased smooth surface
- Knead the dough until it's smooth and let it cool slightly
- Open portions of the dough in your hands, place a spoonful of filling inside, and shape into a coxinha (teardrop) form
- Dip each shaped coxinha first in the beaten egg and then in the breadcrumbs
- Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the coxinhas until golden brown on all sides
- Remove the fried coxinhas and drain excess oil on paper towels
