Ingredients
filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 ounces chicken breast cooked, shredded
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 2 green onion thinly sliced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
dough
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 egg white, lightly beaten
- plain breadcrumbs
to fry
- cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat deep fryer or oil to 350˚F.
- Filling: Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir together until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Pour stock, oil and salt into a medium pot and simmer. Once the mixture has come to a simmer, add flour and whisk together with a wooden spoon. As dough forms it’ll be harder to stir, but make sure to continue to vigorously stir for about 2 minutes or until a barely sticky dough forms and no dry spots remain.
- Remove from pot and allow dough to cool on a clean surface. Once dough is cool enough to handle, take about 3 tablespoons at a time and create a ¼ inch disc in your palm. (if dough get too sticky, wet your hands a little with cold water)
- Place 2 teaspoons of filling into the center of the disc and bring the edges of the disc up into the center and pinch up and seal to create a tear drop.
- Gently roll the tear drop into the lightly beaten egg whites followed by a thin layer of bread crumbs. Set aside. Continue until all the coxinha have been made.
- Fry each coxinha on each side for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
