Preparation
- In a medium pot, heat olive oil, then sauté garlic and onions until soft and brown. Add shredded chicken, salt, and paprika (or cayenne pepper). Stir to incorporate.
- Transfer mixture into a bowl, add cream cheese and parsley. Mix well.
- In the same pot, add butter, chicken broth, and milk. Bring to a boil. Stir in flour until dough is formed.
- Transfer dough to a flat surface. Knead the dough while it is warm, but not hot.
- Pinch a piece of dough, about the size of a large egg, and roll into a ball. Using your hands, flatten the dough and spoon filling into the center. Wrap the dough into a pear shape and make sure there aren’t any holes.
- While heating a pot of oil to 350˚F/180˚C, dredge the dough in egg and panko, then deep-fry till golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain on a towel, or wire rack and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

Don't put this size of onions. You have to chop really small, or don't put it. That's how we do in Brazil. And you HAVE to put some cream cheese in the middle.

Definitely chop the onions smaller as all the other tips say, I would also recommend adding some seasonings to the dough to give it more flavor. Otherwise came out delicious!

Add tumeric in the dough to add more color. Adding cheese in the filling also helps! Serve with Russian dressing!

As a Brazilian, I say: chop the onions MUCH smaller than that. This recipe is definitely the best one but for those that don’t know coxinha and wants to try something from Brazil, this recipe is ok but once you try the real coxinha then this will not make sense
