How do you make delicious Brazilian casserole with chicken and bread?

Question

A couple of years ago, I went to my daughter's best friends house for a jewelry party. Her Brazilian mother served the most delicious casserole made with shredded chicken and sliced white bread, in layers. It had some kind of sauce, I want to say it's some kind of red sauce but I don't remember too well. She told me the name of it but it's in Portugese. Now they moved out of town and I'm dying to know the recipe! Can someone help? Thanks!
