Chicken
Ingredients ꓽ
chili
1 Whole skinless chicken breast
1 L cold water
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Marraqueta (2 wedges)
1 Can evaporated milk
1 Cup milk
1 Chicken tablet
1 Tbsp yellow chili paste (more if desired)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped garlic clove
Hard-boiled eggs and olives for garnish (optional)
Preparation ꓽ
Step 1
1. Cook the chicken breast in cold water with just a touch of salt for approximately 20 minutes,
making sure not to overcook it so it doesn't become tough. Meanwhile, break the marraqueta
into small pieces and pour in the evaporated milk and the cup of milk, leaving it until
completely soaked.
Step 2
2. Once the chicken breasts are ready, remove them and let them cool before shredding them
completely. Save the broth for the next steps of the recipe. Next, blend the soaked bread and
aji amarillo paste with a blender or juicer until completely creamy (if more liquid is needed,
you can add the broth from the cooking process).
Step 3
3. Finally, heat a saucepan with the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until lightly browned.
Add the shredded chicken and then the breadcrumbs. Season with the chicken broth and cook
over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it boils and the mixture is creamy. If it lacks
moisture, add a little broth until you achieve the texture you like best. Serve with white rice,
quartered eggs, and olives to enjoy freshly prepared.
