- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the shredded chicken and chopped hearts of palm to the pan.
- Season with salt to taste and stir well.
- Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the creamy requeijão and stir until you achieve a homogeneous and creamy texture.
- Cook over low heat for another 5 minutes, or until the filling thickens slightly.
