Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken, corn, and milk at any local supermarket. Onion soup mix is available in the dry goods aisle. For authentic requeijão cremoso and batata palha, check specialty international food stores or dedicated Brazilian grocers. As a substitute for requeijão, a thick cream cheese thinned with a little heavy cream can be used, though it will alter the original flavor profile.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken fillets with the onion soup mix until well coated.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for 20 minutes.
- In a blender, process the drained sweet corn, requeijão cremoso, and milk until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken fillets in the bowl.
- Transfer the chicken and the sauce into a baking dish.
- Place the dish 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, accompanied by batata palha and white rice.
