Unfortunately, I cannot eat anything that has seeds or nuts so that does eliminate a lot of receipts. Sometimes I just leave out those ingredients and it still is delicious. I simply use my judgment. However, no chicken products are better than Perdue. I have complete trust in the production of their products. Keep up the good work. Vivian

This is a variation of the Peruvian dish "Aji de Gallina." To serve it the traditional Peruvian way, slice the boiled potatoes in half, spoon the chicken (which is shredded) in the aji sauce over the potatoes. Top with half a hard-boiled egg and then a black olive. Aji de Gallina is delicious, though I've not made this version, it is slightly different. I would leave out the tomatoes, as the traditional dish does not call for them. If you can find jarred aji paste in a latino store, it is great to have on hand- try this recipe with about 1 teaspoon and then adjust to your taste from there- based on your heat tolerance. Definitely worth trying this recipe or Aji de Gallina.
