Ají de Gallina

Chicken is one of those dishes that I would never order at a restaurant (boring) but I do like making it myself. Peruvians love to eat chicken and this Peruvian Spicy Creamed Chicken (Ají de Gallina) is a classic dish my mama use to make when I was little. It was her way of keeping us connected to her Latin culture. The torch has been passed. This dish is dreamy/creamy and takes a little time to make but so worth it.
