    Ana's Brazilian Chicken Recipe

    Sauté cubed chicken in olive oil, crushed garlic and salt.
    Add sliced onions and tomatoes or Ro-tel. Let it simmer for half hour to 40 minutes.
    Add 8oz cream cheese per 1.5 of chicken or so. Let it soften and mix well.
    Before serving, garnish with plenty of fresh chopped herbs: any combination of Cilantro, parsley, basil.
    Serve over rice, or anything you like! Serve in a vegetable as a side. If you are familiar with hearts of palm, add one or two cans rinsed, sliced hearts of palm chopped to this dish to make it extremely Brazilian and delicious.

    Quantities are whatever you want depending on how many people are you feeding. Enjoy!
