Best Pollo Saltado Chicken Stir Fry Recipes

POLLO SALTADO (PERUVIAN-STYLE CHICKEN STIR-FRY)

Steps:

• Place chicken strips in a resealable plastic bag with soy sauce, vinegar, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and garlic. Seal bag and shake up to cover chicken completely. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes and as long as 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Arrange frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large wok on high heat. Add the marinated chicken. Cook, flipping pieces occasionally, until mostly white on the surface, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add onion, bell pepper, and aji pepper to the wok with the chicken. Continue stir-frying until onions are slightly translucent but still hold their shape, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Arrange baked fries on plates and place the chicken stir-fry on top.

POLLO SALTADO (CHICKEN STIR-FRY)

Steps:

• Season the chicken stripes with salt and pepper. Put a wok or a pan over very high heat. When it is smoking, add the oil, let smoke again, add and saute the chicken, a few slices at a time so they don't steam but remain golden instead (about 10 minutes, depending on how strong the flame is). In a home stove it´s almost impossible to get that kind of heat, besides, the fire alarm will alert the Firefighters and all the experience will be a mess. Add garlic, onion, tomato, chili pepper, and stir for a couple of minutes. Add the soy sauce and vinegar on the sides of the pan and mix everything. Season with more salt and pepper. Take off the heat, add chopped cilantro and serve at once with French fries and white rice.
