Sajta de pollo

Sajta de pollo is a Bolivian dish consisting of chicken, onions, tomatoes, peas, and yellow chili peppers (most often, aji amarillo). It is typically flavored with parsley, celery, black pepper, garlic, and cumin. The dish is traditionally prepared for Carnival and the All Saints' Day.


It is similar to picante de pollo, main difference being the type of chili peppers used, the level of spiciness, and the resulting flavor profile. Sajta de pollo is milder and creamier, while picante de pollo is spicier and richer. When served, the sauce-drenched sajta de pollo is usually accompanied by potatoes.


The dish is often garnished with finely chopped onions and tomatoes.
