About Aji de pollo

Aji de Pollo is a flavorful Peruvian chicken dish that showcases the vibrant flavors of South American cuisine. Its name translates to "chili chicken," and it features shredded chicken cooked in a creamy, mildly spicy sauce made with yellow chili peppers, milk, cheese, and bread crumbs for thickening. This dish is often served over white rice or alongside boiled potatoes, and occasionally garnished with hard-boiled eggs and olives. While Aji de Pollo is rich and satisfying, its nutritional profile depends on preparation. The chicken provides lean protein, and the yellow peppers are a source of vitamins and antioxidants. However, the creamy sauce may be high in calories and saturated fats due to the cheese and milk. Moderation is key, and lighter variations can be made with low-fat dairy products. Aji de Pollo is a delicious way to explore Peru’s culinary heritage while being mindful of its indulgent ingredients.
