Ingredients

1 pound Chicken breast
1 cup All-purpose flour
1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Milk
1/4 cup Butter
1/2 tsp Salt

Method

In a large bowl, combine chicken breast, flour, and a pinch of salt, mixing until the chicken is well coated.
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the oil and set aside to cool, then chop into small pieces and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk, then add the chopped chicken and mix until well combined.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small oval shapes, about 1 1/2 inches long, then dip each into the beaten eggs and roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
Heat about 2-3 inches of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add a few of the shaped coxinha and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, repeating with the remaining coxinha.
Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, serving hot and enjoying.
