Chicken cau cau (Cau cau de pollo)

(Chicken cau cau)

Cau cau de pollo is a variation on the typical Peruvian stew cau cau. It's usually made with a combination of chicken, chicken stock, carrots, peas, potatoes, onions, garlic, hot peppers, mint, oil, salt, and pepper. The onions, garlic, and hot peppers are sautéed in oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and covered with chicken stock.


The mint, carrots, potatoes, peas, and chicken pieces are added to the pot and simmered until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked. The dish is traditionally served with Peruvian-style white rice on the side.
