Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Chicken croquettes (Brazilian)

Cook the chicken breast in 1/2 tablespoon of meat broth (dissolved in plenty of water, 1/2 pot) until tender. Then remove the chicken breast. Cook 5 small peeled potatoes in the chicken broth until tender. Remove the potatoes and mash with a fork. Return the mash to the empty pot. Add about 5 scoops of flour (Tupperware) to the pot and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture “burns off.” Transfer to a plate and let cool. Finely chop the chicken (shred). Sauté 1 onion and plenty of parsley in butter, add 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika and the chicken, season with salt and a little pepper. Form the cooled potato dough into pear-shaped “coxinhas” (with the chicken filling in the center). Coat in egg and breadcrumbs and deep-fry in the deep fryer.
