• ✓ aji amarillo chile paste
• chicken breast
• salt
• black pepper
• vegetable oil
• red onion
• garlic
• cilantro leaves
• chicken broth
• red bell pepper
• water
• white rice
• pea
• carrot

Instructions

1. 1 Season chicken with salt and pepper.
2. 2 Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with enough oil to coat the bottom. Brown chicken in hot oil on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes total. Remove chicken onto a plate.
3. 3 Pour more oil into the saucepan and add onion; sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro, chile paste, salt, and pepper. Sauté until cilantro turns dark green, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and deglaze, scraping browned bits off the bottom of the saucepan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a light simmer; let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
4. 4 Transfer mixture carefully to an electric blender and purée.
5. 5 Heat more oil in the same saucepan over medium-high heat; sauté bell pepper in hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Return puréed cilantro mixture to the saucepan and add chicken. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove chicken to a clean plate.
6. 6 Add water and rice to the same saucepan, adding more water if it doesn't look like enough. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 40 minutes. Stir in peas and carrots and chicken and cook until warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes.

• garlic
• water
• white bread
• evaporated milk
• parmesan cheese
• walnut
• vegetable oil
• garlic
• onion
• turmeric
• egg
• kalamata olive

Instructions

1. 1 Place chicken breasts, onion, carrot, and 2 cloves garlic in a large saucepan, pour in 2 quarts of water and slowly bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Skim off the foam which forms on top, then cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and allow to cool. Strain the resulting chicken stock, discarding the vegetables.
2. 2 Pour evaporated milk and 1/2 cup chicken stock into the bowl of a blender. Add bread cubes and puree until smooth. Add Parmesan cheese and walnuts; puree until smooth. Shred the cooled chicken and discard the bones.
3. 3 Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in minced garlic and minced onion; cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken and aji amarillo until heated through. Pour in bread puree and cook until hot, stirring frequently. Add more chicken stock if needed to keep from getting too thick. Season with turmeric and simmer for 5 minutes more.
4. 4 Serve garnished with hard-cooked egg slices and sprinkled with kalamata olives.
