Escabeche de Pollo is a traditional Peruvian dish that can be enjoyed as a starter or main course. The dish’s name translates to “pickled chicken” and it consists of pickling the meat in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, onions, garlic, black pepper, and yellow and red chilies. This particular recipe uses coconut amino as opposed to soy sauce for a gluten-free alternative. It also adds yellow Peruvian peppers for a delicious kick and the Peruvian red dry peppers( called aji panca) for the amazing flavor and red color.

The Escabeche De Pollo is a dish that combines the flavors of chicken, onions, garlic, and spices with Peruvian yellow, red peppers, and coconut amino sauce. If you want an authentic taste from Peru without leaving your house, this dish will be a hit!

How to Make Escabeche de Pollo?

1. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add coconut aminos. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

2. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

3. Rinse and slice the Onion in a bowl of water and salt

4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the red chili paste, paprika powder, and onion powder. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

3. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, letting the wine reduce slightly.

4. Stir in the coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar, combining everything well.

5. Add the sliced yellow Peruvian pepper to the skillet. Return the chicken pieces to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them. Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

6. Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot with rice, boiled potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
