Dominican Pollo Guisado / Stewed Chicken image

This is my favorite dish, every time I visit my parents they must cook this for me. It's a traditional dish in Dominican families sometimes even served at least once a week. The adobo powder may be found in the Hispanic isle at your local supermarket. The Goya Adobo has a red cap. You'll find yourself seasoning everything with this. Serve with my Dominican Bean Stew / Habichuelas Rojas Guisadas
