Where to find ingredients
Chicken fillets, sweetcorn, milk, and rice are available at any local supermarket. Requeijão cremoso can be found at specialized Latin American or international food grocers; as a substitute, one might use a high-quality double cream cheese or crème fraîche mixed with a little sea salt, though the original requeijão provides the authentic texture.
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, combine the drained sweetcorn, requeijão cremoso, and milk, blending until smooth.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken fillets in the bowl.
- Transfer the chicken and the sauce 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 sauce is golden and bubbling.
- Serve hot, accompanied by potato sticks and white rice.
