To talk about the origin of ají de gallina we must go back to colonial times in Peru and, surprisingly, find curious similarities between the dish and the white manjar.

Menjar blanc was a dish that appeared in Catalan cuisine in the 14th century. Then, as a result of the combination of Spanish and Quechua ingredients, one of our flagship dishes is born.

Initially the dish was presented with a cream that had chicken breast, rice, almonds and that had a sweet taste, but over time that was changing thanks in part to the chili pepper that is now used in its preparation and which is also the cause of the name that carries.
