Boil the chicken, shred it, and make a moist filling with cream cheese.
Cook the flour in the chicken stock, stirring, until it becomes a dough that does not stick to your hands.
Open the dough, fill with the chicken mixture, and close into a teardrop shape.
Coat the pieces in egg and breadcrumbs, then fry in 180°C oil.
💡 Tip: Knead the dough while hot; if it cools, it cracks when shaped.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with hot sauce and lemon wedges.
