Home made coxinha recipe

Start by boiling 2 chicken breast with 3 cups water, stock cubes, 1 onion roughly chopped, 2 carrots roughly chopped and 2 bay leaves for around 20 minutes until chicken is cooked.

Shred the chicken and reserve the stock, discard the veg and leaves.

Fry 2 cloves of garlic crushed and half a small onion finely chopped in butter until soft.

Add 100g cream cheese, shredded chicken and salt and pepper to taste and mix all together. Best done while cooking on a low heat to help cheese mix.

Use 1 and a half cups from leftover stock, 1 and a half cups milk plus 50g of butter. Bring to boil then lower heat and add 450g of flour plus salt and pepper to taste til it forms a dough.

Once balls are formed with filling just dip in egg and then breadcrumb and fry for 10 minutes on a medium heat.
