Aji de Gallina is a traditional Peruvian dish made from shredded chicken in a creamy, yellow sauce. The sauce is primarily made from aji amarillo, a yellow chili pepper that gives the dish its distinctive color and flavor. Other ingredients include bread soaked in milk, cheese, and nuts, which contribute to its rich texture.
Typically served with rice and boiled potatoes, Aji de Gallina is a popular comfort food in Peru. It is often garnished with olives and hard-boiled eggs, adding to its visual appeal. This dish reflects the fusion of indigenous and Spanish culinary influences in Peruvian cuisine.
