Where to find ingredients
For the key Brazilian ingredients: Requeijão (creamy cheese spread) and Batata Palha (crispy potato sticks) are best found in international aisles of large supermarkets, or specifically at Brazilian, Latin American, or Portuguese grocery stores. If you cannot find authentic requeijão, a high-quality cream cheese mixed with a splash of heavy cream can work as a substitute. Onion cream soup mix can be found in the soup or seasoning aisle of most major grocery stores.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken fillets with the onion cream soup mix until well coated
- Let the chicken marinate for 20 minutes to absorb the flavors
- In a blender, blitz the drained corn, requeijão, and milk until you have a smooth, creamy sauce
- Pour the sauce mixture directly over the marinated chicken fillets in the bowl
- Transfer everything into a baking dish, spreading the sauce evenly
- Place in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F)
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbling and golden
- Serve hot, topped with generous handfuls of potato sticks and a side of white rice
