Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken breast, onions, garlic, and olive oil at local supermarkets or butcher shops. Requeijão cremoso is a specialized Brazilian ingredient; if you cannot source it locally, a high-quality, spreadable cream cheese can be used as a substitute to maintain the texture.
Preparation method
- Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent
- Add the garlic and sauté for another minute
- Add the shredded chicken and season with salt to taste
- Mix well and allow it to heat through for a few minutes
- Turn off the heat and stir the requeijão cremoso into the sautéed chicken
- Mix until the filling reaches a homogeneous and creamy consistency
- Let the filling cool completely before using it to stuff the pastries
