Start with the chicken breast, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Place the chicken breast in a plastic bag and pound it with a hammer to flatten it.

Reserve the chicken and repeat the process if using steak.

Dredge the chicken in flour, then dip it in beaten egg.

Coat the chicken with panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

Heat about 2 inches of oil in a pan over medium-low heat and fry the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Set the fried chicken aside.

For the sauce, blend 5 cleaned yellow chili peppers, 100 grams of cheese, and 1/4 cup of evaporated milk until smooth.

Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the blender and blend again to emulsify the sauce.

Strain the sauce to remove any chili pieces.

Prepare a garlic butter by mixing 50 grams of butter with chopped garlic and oregano to taste.

Spread the garlic butter on stale baguette slices and place them on a baking tray.

In a skillet, pour the huancaína sauce and add 1/4 cup of evaporated milk or cream to loosen it up.

Mix in the cooked macaroni until well coated with the sauce, adding freshly grated parmesan cheese to thicken and enhance the flavor.

Serve the macaroni on a plate, placing the fried chicken on top.

Drizzle red sauce over the chicken and pasta as desired.

Sprinkle more freshly grated parmesan cheese on top.

Bake the garlic bread and pasta in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden and bubbly.
