Soak the stale bread in milk for 10 minutes.
Blend the aji amarillo paste, walnuts, and soaked bread until they form a smooth sauce.
Saute the onion and garlic in oil for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the pepper sauce to the pan and cook it over low heat for 8 minutes.
Fold the shredded chicken into the sauce and stir so the sauce works into the fibers.
Serve hot with the rice, potatoes, and eggs.
💡 Tip: Letting the bread dissolve fully before combining the chicken keeps the sauce smooth.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with plain boiled rice.
