Preparation method
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken fillets with the onion soup mix until well coated.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for 20 minutes to develop the flavours.
- In a blender, blitz the drained sweetcorn, requeijão cremoso, and milk until completely smooth.
- Pour the creamy corn mixture over the marinated 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 bubbling and golden.
- Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of batata palha and a side of white rice.
Observations
This creamy chicken with corn and requeijão is a classic Brazilian comfort dish that perfectly balances bold flavours with everyday convenience. By marinating the chicken in onion soup mix, you build a deep, savoury base, while the velvety blend of sweetcorn and requeijão creates a luxurious, golden topping as it bakes.
The process is straightforward: the chicken marinates to soak up all the seasonings before being blanketed in the creamy corn sauce. Everything cooks together in one dish, ensuring the meat stays wonderfully succulent and tender. Best enjoyed with fluffy white rice and a generous topping of crisp batata palha, this is a heartwarming meal that never fails to satisfy.
