Shredded Chicken in Yellow Sauce is a flavorful dish rooted in Peruvian cuisine, celebrated for its vibrant color and rich taste. The dish features tender, shredded chicken cooked in a creamy sauce made from a blend of ají amarillo peppers, garlic, onions, and a base of milk or cream, thickened with bread or crackers. Ají amarillo, a cornerstone of Peruvian cooking, gives the sauce its striking yellow hue and a mild, fruity heat. It’s traditionally served with steamed rice, potatoes, and sometimes hard-boiled eggs. The chicken provides a lean source of protein, while the sauce contains healthy antioxidants from the peppers. However, the creamy base and carb-heavy sides can make the dish rich in calories and fat, depending on preparation. Balancing portion sizes and incorporating fresh vegetables can make this dish a highly enjoyable part of a balanced diet.
