Preparation method

- Add the shredded chicken and seasonings, sautéing for approximately 5 minutes
- Remove from heat, stir 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 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 clean surface
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and let it cool slightly
- Open portions of the dough in your hands, place a portion of the filling, and shape into a teardrop (coxinha) 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
