Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3-4 yellow ají peppers
2 gloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
4 slices white bread
3/4 cup evaporated milk
4 yellow potatoes
2 hard-boiled eggs
10 black olives, halved

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the yellow potatoes in salted water until tender when pierced with a fork. Let cool, peel, cut into quarters, and set aside. 2. Place the bread in a small bowl and pour the evaporated milk over it to soak. Set aside. 3. Place the chicken breasts in a pot with the chicken stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until chicken is just barely cooked through. 4. Set chicken aside to cool. Strain broth and reserve 2 cups. 5. Remove stems and seeds from the peppers. In a blender, process peppers with the vegetable oil until smooth. 6. Sauté the garlic and onions with the puréed peppers and oil, until the onions are soft and golden. Remove from heat and let cool. 7. Shred the cooled chicken into bite-size pieces. 8. In a blender or food processor, process the evaporated milk and bread mixture with the nuts and parmesean cheese until smooth. Add the cooked onion mixture and process briefly. 9. Return onion mixture to pan, and add 1 1/2 cups of the reserved chicken stock. Bring to a low simmer, and stir in the chicken. Heat until warmed through, adding more chicken stock if sauce is too thick. 10. Serve over rice, garnished with the yellow potatoes, slices of hard boiled egg, and black olives.

This dish was a little bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time and it turned out great.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! The only thing I changed was that I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of bone-in chicken. It was still very good.
