Where to find ingredients
Chicken breast, onions, olives, and flour are available at local markets (sokoni) or general grocery stores. Beef bouillon cubes, cumin, and salt are standard pantry items in local shops. As a substitute, you may use any standard poultry seasoning blend if 'Tempero baiano' is not available.
Preparation method
- In a pot, cook the shredded chicken with the chopped onion, olives, beef bouillon cube, Bahian seasoning, cumin, and salt, adding a little water if necessary until the flavors meld and the liquid evaporates.
- Gradually add the flour while stirring with a wooden spoon over low heat, until a consistent dough forms and pulls away from the bottom of the pot.
- Once the dough has cooled slightly, shape the croquettes into balls or any other shape you prefer.
- Deep-fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels before serving.
