Aji De Gallina

Ají de gallina is a traditional Peruvian dish made with shredded chicken in a creamy, mildly spicy sauce. The sauce is primarily made from aji amarillo (a type of Peruvian yellow chili pepper), bread or crackers, milk, and cheese, which gives it its rich and flavorful consistency. The dish typically includes garlic, onions, and walnuts, adding depth and texture. It’s served over rice, accompanied by boiled potatoes, black olives, and hard-boiled eggs. The balance of spice, creaminess, and savory chicken makes it a comforting and popular meal in Peru.
