Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken fillets, milk, and canned corn at local supermarkets like Choppies or Shoprite. Onion soup mix is available in the dry goods aisle. Requeijão cremoso and batata palha (potato sticks) are specialty Brazilian pantry items; if unavailable, you may substitute requeijão with a high-quality cream cheese or thick sour cream, and use any fine-cut crispy potato snack as a substitute for batata palha.
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 and homogeneous.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken fillets in the bowl.
- Transfer the chicken and the sauce into a baking dish.
- Place in an oven preheated to 180°C.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the cream is golden and bubbling.
- Serve hot, accompanied by potato sticks and white rice.
Observations
This creamy chicken with corn and requeijão is a classic Brazilian dish that perfectly balances comfort and convenience, making it an excellent choice for a quick yet satisfying meal. The onion soup mix marinade infuses the chicken with deep savory notes, while the luscious topping of sweet corn and creamy requeijão ensures every bite is incredibly tender and rich.
The process is straightforward: after marinating, the chicken is baked directly in its creamy sauce, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully as the meat cooks. When served with crisp potato sticks and fluffy white rice, this dish is a crowd-pleaser that fits perfectly into any busy weekly menu.
