Cooking Recipe Aji De Gallina (Piquant Creamed Chicken- Peru
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Bring 1 quart of salted water to a boil in a large pot, then add the
carrot, sliced onion, and chicken. When the chicken is poached (about
45 minutes), remove it from the water, cool, and shred it into small
strips. Strain the broth and reserve the carrot and onion and 3 cups
of the broth.
Break the bread into pieces and soak them in the milk. In a large
pot, saute the minced onion, pureed chiles, and garlic in the oil for
a few minutes, then add the reserved carrot and onion. Add pepper to
taste. Stir over medium heat for about 20 minutes until thick. Place
the potatoes on serving plates and pour the chicken sauce over them.
Garnish with the hard-boiled egg halves.
