- cream cheese
- butter
- olive oilSubstitui por: óleo vegetal
- cornstarch
- larger cubes de onion
- shoestring potatoes
- chicken broth
- salt

Instructions
Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper, and then completely coat them with cornstarch.
Dica: The cornstarch helps to seal the chicken, keeping it juicy and aiding in thickening the sauce later.
In a skillet, heat the mixture of olive oil and butter over medium heat to brown the chicken without burning the butter.
Dica: Using olive oil with butter raises the fat's smoke point, stabilizing the butter at higher temperatures.
Lightly sear the chicken, stirring carefully, until it starts to sweat slightly, avoiding dryness or juice loss. If the chicken is cold, let it come to room temperature before using.
Dica: It is crucial that the chicken does not lose liquid during searing; make sure the pan is not too crowded, and do not let the chicken dry out.
Add the onion cut into larger cubes and sauté until translucent and the onion wilts.
Dica: Sauté just until the onion is translucent, keeping the chicken juicy.
Add the chicken broth and increase the heat so the mixture boils quickly and thickens due to the presence of the cornstarch.
Dica: Use already boiling broth to speed up the thickening process, preventing the chicken from drying out by cooking too long.
Transfer the chicken mixture to a casserole dish, ensuring the sauce is light, as the cream cheese will still be added.
Dica: Turn off the heat before transferring to the casserole dish.
Spread a generous amount of cream cheese evenly over the chicken in the casserole dish.
Place in a preheated oven at 350ºF (180ºC) for a light finish, just long enough for the mixture to set slightly.
Dica: Letting the mixture set briefly prevents the shoestring potatoes from getting soggy when added.
Remove from the oven, let it rest so the mixture thickens, and then generously top with shoestring potatoes to add the necessary crunch to the dish.
Dica: The shoestring potatoes should be added after the dish has rested a bit, ensuring they remain crispy.
