Peruvian Chicken Recipes

Peruvian cooking is one of the world's most exciting — fusing Andean, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese techniques with bright citrus and vivid ají chillies. When Peruvian cooks work with chicken, they reach for ají chillies, lime, garlic, coriander and red onion, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, boiling, sautéing and poaching.

The world's most-cooked protein — mild, lean and endlessly adaptable to almost any spice profile or cooking method. In this collection it's most often cooked with aji amarillo paste, garlic, black olives, hard-boiled eggs, evaporated milk and neutral oil. The dishes here span peruvian classics ready in as little as 45 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
