Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken fillets and basic produce at local markets or supermarkets in Maseru. Requeijão cremoso and batata palha are specialty Brazilian items; if unavailable locally, you may use a high-quality cream cheese mixed with a splash of heavy cream as a substitute for requeijão, and thin potato sticks or salted shoestring fries as a substitute for batata palha.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken fillets with the onion cream soup mix until well coated.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for 20 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the drained corn, the requeijão cremoso, and the milk, processing until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Pour the blended cream mixture over the seasoned chicken fillets in the bowl.
- Transfer the chicken and the sauce into a baking dish.
- Place in a preheated oven at 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 crispy batata palha and freshly cooked white rice.
Observations
This creamy chicken with corn and requeijão is a classic Brazilian dish that perfectly balances deep, savory flavors with everyday convenience. By marinating the chicken in onion cream mix, the meat becomes deeply seasoned and tender, while the rich, velvety topping made of corn and requeijão provides an irresistible texture.
The preparation is simple: after a quick marination, the chicken is baked in the creamy sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together into a succulent, comforting meal. Traditionally served with crispy batata palha and steamed white rice, this dish is a staple for busy weeknights that never fails to satisfy.
