Where to find ingredients
Chicken, corn, and milk are available at local supermarkets and butcher shops. Requeijão (a creamy Brazilian processed cheese) and onion cream mix can be found in specialty import stores; as a substitute for requeijão, one may use a high-quality cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream to achieve a similar consistency.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken fillets with the onion cream mix.
- Let the chicken marinate for 20 minutes.
- In a blender, blend the drained sweet corn, the creamy requeijão, and the milk until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken fillets in the bowl.
- Transfer the chicken and the sauce to a baking dish.
- Place in 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, accompanied by shoestring potatoes and white rice.
Observations
This creamy chicken with corn and requeijão is a staple Brazilian dish that perfectly balances deep flavors with everyday practicality, making it ideal for a comforting meal. The onion cream seasoning acts as a dry marinade, intensifying the chicken's flavor, while the luscious corn and requeijão sauce creates an irresistible texture.
The process is straightforward: the seasoned chicken is baked in the creamy mixture, which cooks together to ensure the meat remains tender and succulent. Best served with crispy shoestring potatoes and steamed white rice, this dish is a crowd-pleaser that fits perfectly into any weekly meal rotation.
