Coxinha (Brazilian Croquettes)
- 200 grams Chicken breast
- 1 Tomato
- 1/2 Onion
- 7 Potatoes
- 100 ml Milk
- 100 ml or 1 dash less Plain flour
- 1 cube Consomme or beef bouillon cube
- 1 Egg white
- 1 Panko
- Filling: Boil the chicken breast in salt water (add only a small amount of salt to the water).
- When the chicken is boiled, let it cool, and shred it apart.
- Discard the skin, but do not discard the boiling water.
- Set it aside for later use!
- Leave the skin on the tomato and roughly chop.
- Finely mince the onion.
- Add vegetable oil to a frying pan, stir-fry the onion, add the shredded chicken breast and stir-fry.
- Add the tomato, stir-fry until all of the moisture has evaporated, and season with salt and pepper.
- Batter: Boil the potatoes, and finely mash them up.
- Add the milk and the consomme cube in a saucepan, and simmer over low heat to dissolve the consomme cube.
- Continue heating the saucepan over low heat, and stir while adding the flour in several batches.
- Once the mixture becomes firm, add the mashed potatoes in several batches.
- Pour in a small amount of the chicken breast boiling water, stirring consonantly to prevent it from burning.
- Once the batter comes together and stops sticking to the pan, the batter is ready.
- Once the batter is completely cooled, wrap the filling in it, and make a tear-drop shape.
- Coat it with the egg white, cover with panko, and deep-fry until golden brown.
- Be sure to deep fry at a high temperature!
