 1 unit of Onion (large)

 3 garlic cloves

 7 units of Bread

 4 units of yellow chili peppers

 1 tablespoon of yellow stick

 1 can of milk

How to make Aji de Pollo:

Bring the chicken breast to a boil and when it's done, fray it and place it on a plate. On the other hand, remove the seeds from the peppers and liquefy them with a little chicken broth, reserve it for later.

Once this is done, put the bread to soak in the milk, leave it for a few minutes and when it is well impregnated, crush it. Transfer this puree to a bowl or other container and, apart, chop the onion and sauté it in oil along with the minced garlic. When both ingredients are fried, add the toothpick and the crushed peppers and stir everything. When it's ready, liquify it.

Then, take a pot and add the crushed bread with the milk, a little chicken broth and the previous preparation. Heat it over medium heat until it boils. Then add salt to taste and add the shredded chicken to thicken it.

When ready, serve with a boiled egg on top and, if desired, black olives. It is customary to accompany the chicken chili with white rice.
