Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken fillets and basic pantry staples like canned corn and milk at local grocery stores.

Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken fillets with the onion soup mix until evenly coated.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for 20 minutes to develop the flavors.
- In a blender, combine the drained sweet corn, the requeijão, 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 creamy sauce into a baking dish.
- Place the dish in an oven preheated to 180°C.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and bubbling.
- Serve hot, accompanied by crispy potato sticks and white rice.
