Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh chicken at local butcher shops or supermarket poultry counters. Requeijão cremoso is a specialty Brazilian product; if unavailable in international aisles, you may look for a high-quality, thick spreadable cream cheese, though the texture and salt profile will differ from the original. Onion soup mix is available in the seasoning aisle, and shoestring potatoes are typically found in the snacks or international foods section.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, coat the chicken fillets thoroughly with the onion soup mix.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for 20 minutes to develop the flavors.
- In a blender, process the drained sweet corn, requeijão cremoso, and milk until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Pour the blended cream mixture over the seasoned chicken fillets in the bowl.
- Transfer the chicken and the cream sauce into a baking dish.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F).
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden and bubbling.
- Serve hot, garnished with shoestring potatoes and a side of white rice.
Observations
This creamy chicken with sweet corn and requeijão is a classic Brazilian comfort dish that balances rich textures with ease of preparation. By marinating the chicken in onion soup mix, you build a deep, savory base that shines through the velvety sauce made from sweet corn and requeijão—a thick, spreadable Brazilian cream cheese that gives the dish its signature silky finish.
The process is straightforward: once the chicken has absorbed the onion seasoning, it is baked directly in the creamy mixture until tender and golden. Served alongside crispy shoestring potatoes and plain white rice, it makes for a heartwarming meal that is perfect for any day of the week.
