Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, mix together the boiled chicken, chopped capsicum, salt, pepper, and mayonnaise until well combined. Set this chicken filling aside.
Step 2
Take your bread slices and trim off the crusts. Dip each slice briefly in water, then gently squeeze out the excess water so the bread is just slightly damp.
Step 3
Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each bread slice and shape it into a small ball.
Step 4
Roll each ball in breadcrumbs, then dip it into the flour slurry (made by mixing flour, salt, pepper, chili flakes, and water until smooth).
Step 5
Coat the ball again in breadcrumbs for an extra crispy layer.
Step 6
Heat oil in a pan and fry the balls until they turn golden brown on all sides.
Step 7
Drain on paper towels, garnish with a little mayonnaise, and enjoy your crispy chicken bread pockets!
