Where to find ingredients
Find chicken and pantry staples at local supermarkets like Super Value or Solomon's. Requeijão is a specific Brazilian creamy cheese spread; if unavailable, a high-quality cream cheese or a mix of heavy cream and crème fraîche are common substitutes, though they will alter the authentic flavor profile.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken fillets with the onion soup mix.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for 20 minutes.
- In a blender, process the drained sweet corn, requeijão, and milk until smooth.
- Pour the creamy corn mixture over the chicken fillets in the bowl.
- Transfer the chicken and the sauce into a baking dish.
- Place in an oven preheated to 180°C.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is golden and bubbling.
- Serve hot, garnished with shoestring potatoes and a side of white rice.
