Where to find ingredients
Chicken, corn, and milk are found in any local grocery store. Onion soup mix is available in the dry goods aisle. Requeijão cremoso is a specialized Brazilian creamy cheese spread found in international sections of supermarkets; as a substitute, one might use a high-quality cream cheese blended with a touch of heavy cream, though the flavor profile will differ from the original.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, mix the chicken fillets with the onion soup mix
- Let the chicken marinate for 20 minutes
- In a blender, process the drained sweet corn, requeijão cremoso, and milk until smooth
- Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken fillets in the bowl
- Transfer the chicken and the cream mixture into a baking dish
- Place into 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 shoestring potatoes and white rice
