About Aji de gallina
Aji de Gallina is a popular Peruvian dish known for its creamy, spicy, and comforting flavors. This classic recipe features shredded chicken simmered in a velvety sauce made from yellow chili peppers (ají amarillo), garlic, onions, milk, cheese, bread crumbs, and turmeric, giving it its signature golden color. Typically served with boiled potatoes, rice, and sometimes black olives and hard-boiled eggs as garnishes, it provides a hearty and satisfying meal. Rich in protein from the chicken and eggs, Aji de Gallina also contains calcium from the dairy ingredients. However, its indulgent sauce can be high in saturated fats and calories, making moderation important for those monitoring their diet. The ají amarillo brings a wealth of antioxidants and a mild spiciness, adding nutrition and flavor depth. This dish beautifully showcases Peru's vibrant culinary traditions while offering a balance of indulgence and beneficial nutrients.
