Instructions to make to make Ají de gallina (Peruvian dish)

1. Boil the chicken with a tea spoon of salt. Separatedly, boil the potatoes and the eggs. In a rice maker cook the rice with a tea spoon of salt, too.
2. Shred the bread into pieces and soak them with the evaporated milk.
3. If desired, blend it. You may not blend it of you desire to feel the bread in the dish.

We add it so the dish has a better yellow look but you may not use it if you can't find it. Just add a tad more chili if you don't use palillo. Peruvian palillo is made from curcumin (which, unlike red saffron, it is made from a root) and dried chilli. You may also use just yellow saffron if it is easier to find but don't forget the chili.
