Anyone have a good recipe for Aji de Pollo?
I am looking for a recipe for aji de pollo. It is a chicken dish which I love, and get quite often at a local Peruvian restaurant in Manhattan. I've looked for recipes on the internet, but the only ones I've found are in Spanish, so I can not completely follow them. The recipe seems to include mixing garlic / onion / various spices into oil and then soaking some bread in the mixture, but that's where I can't follow. I'd love to be able to make this dish. The orange cream sauce that the chicken is covered with is fantastic.
