Stuffed Chicken Balls ( Coxinha de galinha sem massa)

-
    
 


Very healthy, full of protein and great as a snack or light dinner. Its comparable to a well known Brazilian finger food that is one of the most common finger foods in Brazil called 'Coxinha de galinha',  its truly very delicious but the original recipe is made out of dough,  and then battered and deep fried so needless to say its not for a healthy eating at all, very fattening.
Heres a healthier, non fried, no dough version without loosing the delicious taste.

Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
2 scallions diced
1 carrot shredded
1 egg
1 cup flax seeds
4oz cream cheese
optional: small fresh mozzarella cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to Low- Broil, 

Start of by first thoroughly cleaning your chicken breast and then season it as you please, find my choice of preferred seasonings here. In a pot on medium low heat cook your chicken. Place it in the pot and cover it.  Thoroughly cook the chicken on both sides until lightly browned and fully cooked. 

Shred the chicken, add in your carrots and scallions and then set aside to cool. Add in about 3 tbsp of cream cheese to the shredded chicken mixture and mix in with your hand until it becomes sticky and manageable to shape into a ball. Make it flat into the palm of your hand and place a 1/2 tsp of cream cheese or a small mozzarella ball in the center and shape it into the ball. Feel free to stuff it with whatever you want, be creative. Once you are done stuffing and rolling everything, set aside.

In a bowl whisk your eggs with a little water set aside. Pour your flax seeds onto a plate and season it with a little all purpose seasoning and garlic powder and set aside. Dip the stuffed and formed chicken balls into the egg wash mixture and then into the flax seeds. Place  onto a flat baking tray. Place  in the oven for about 4-5 minutes. Just to form a crunchy crust. Be careful to keep an eye on it in order for it to not burn.




Your Done, enjoy
From my kitchen to yours
God Bless

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
