About A tablespoon of aji de gallina
A Tablespoon of Aji de Gallina offers a glimpse of Peruvian comfort food in a creamy, flavorful bite. This traditional dish features shredded chicken cooked in a sauce of ají amarillo peppers, milk, bread crumbs, onions, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. The sauce is rich and moderately spicy, with a smooth texture that pairs perfectly with rice or potatoes. Originating from Peru’s vibrant culinary heritage, Aji de Gallina combines protein from chicken with bold spices and creamy ingredients. While it provides a good source of lean protein from the chicken, the dish’s richness can come from the dairy and bread, making it somewhat high in calories and saturated fats for its size. Ají amarillo peppers add vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants that enhance metabolic health. Consume in moderation for a balanced approach to its indulgent yet nutritious profile.
