Where to find ingredients
Find fresh chicken fillets in the meat department of local supermarkets. Requeijão cremoso is a specialized Brazilian-style cream cheese; if unavailable, a high-quality thick cream cheese or crème fraîche can be used as a substitute. Onion soup mix is available in the dry goods or seasonings aisle.
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 to absorb the flavors.
- In a blender, combine the drained sweet corn, requeijão cremoso, and milk, blending until smooth.
- Pour the creamy corn mixture over the chicken fillets in the bowl.
- Transfer the chicken and the cream mixture into a baking dish.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F).
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cream is golden and bubbling.
- Serve hot, garnished with shoestring potatoes and accompanied by steamed white rice.
