Where to find ingredients
You can source these ingredients at any major local supermarket or neighborhood open-air market. For the fresh cream, look for high-fat dairy options in the refrigerated aisle. 'Batata palha' is a distinctively Brazilian ingredient; if unavailable, you may substitute with fine, crunchy shoestring potato crisps found in the snack aisle.
Preparation method
- Season the cubed chicken with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Sauté the chicken in a large pan over medium heat until it is well browned.
- Stir in the tomato paste, mustard, and ketchup, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
- Cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, folding it in gently until the sauce becomes silky and creamy.
- Simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes on low heat, taking care not to let it boil.
