- Start by preparing the filling. Heat the olive oil in a pot and add the onion, sautéing until translucent.
- Add the shredded chicken and seasonings. Cook for about 5 minutes and mix in the green onions. Set aside.
- For the dough, in another pan, melt the butter and add the chicken broth. When it boils, add the wheat flour and salt.
- Stir quickly until it forms a homogeneous dough that pulls away from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the dough onto a floured surface and let it cool slightly.
- With the dough still warm, take small portions and shape them like coxinhas, filling with the chicken.
- Dip each coxinha in beaten eggs and then in breadcrumbs for breading.
- Heat the oil in a deep pan and fry the coxinhas until golden brown.
- Remove them and place on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
