Venezuelan “Queen Pepiada”

Ingredients:

• Gentile cheese arepas.
• Previously cooked and shredded chicken breast.
• Avocado.
• Onion.
• Garlic.
• Mayonnaise.
• Salt and black pepper.

If you've ever wondered how to make arepas, this is how you can do it without complicating things:

The first thing you should do is take your Gentile cheese arepas out of the freezer. Grill them for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and set them aside on a separate plate. Remember not to defrost them so that they maintain their quality .

Next, cook the chicken in a pot. A good tip is to add onion and garlic to the water so it has more flavor. Of course, the amount is up to you. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it and set it aside.

Next step: add the chicken breast, the diced avocado, the mayonnaise, a little salt and pepper to a bowl and stir until completely combined.

Spread the mixture over your arepa and enjoy.
