Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 1 1/2 lbs Chicken breast, sliced into strips
  • 1 large Red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 3 medium Roma tomatoes, sliced into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon Aji Amarillo paste
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 lb Frozen french fries, cooked until crispy
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt and black pepper
  • 4 cups Cooked white rice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of garlic.

  2. 2

    Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil until smoking.

  3. 3

    Sear the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining oil to the pan and sauté the red onions for 2 minutes until slightly softened but still crunchy.

  5. 5

    Stir in the garlic and aji amarillo paste, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Add the tomatoes, soy sauce, and vinegar, tossing quickly for 1-2 minutes so the tomatoes stay intact.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately while the fries are still crunchy, accompanied by a side of white rice.
