Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken, corn, milk, and rice at local markets in Port Vila or supermarkets like Au Bon Marché. Requeijão cremoso and batata palha are specific Brazilian ingredients; look for them in the imported goods section of larger grocery stores. As a substitute, cream cheese can be used for the requeijão, though it will lack the signature mild, spreadable texture of the original.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken fillets with the onion soup mix.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for 20 minutes.
- In a blender, process the drained sweet corn, requeijão cremoso, and milk until smooth.
- Pour the blended cream mixture over the seasoned chicken fillets in the bowl.
- Transfer the chicken and the cream mixture into a baking dish.
- Place the dish into an oven preheated to 180°C.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cream is golden and bubbling.
- Serve hot, garnished with batata palha and accompanied by white rice.
Observations
This creamy chicken with corn and requeijão is a staple of Brazilian comfort food, balancing hearty flavors with everyday convenience. By marinating the chicken in onion soup mix, we deepen the savory notes of the meat, while the rich, velvety topping of blended sweet corn and requeijão creates an irresistible texture that coats the dish perfectly.
The cooking process is straightforward: once seasoned, the chicken is baked directly in the creamy sauce, ensuring every bite remains tender and juicy. Best enjoyed with a serving of crispy batata palha and steamed white rice, this dish is a crowd-pleaser that fits perfectly into a busy schedule.
