Portuguese Chicken With Spaghetti / Espaguete Com Galinha

This is another dish that makes frequent appearances at the dinner table, particularly because it has been successful with the little picky eaters in the family.  This recipe is different from some of the other  Portuguese chicken with spaghetti recipes out there because it includes potatoes (we like our potatoes) and carrots. If you wanted to change this up you could add other vegetables or some sliced chourico. Of course, I would serve it with a roll for dunking.

Portuguese Chicken with Spaghetti/ Espaguete Com Galinha

Ingredients

2 tbsp. canola oil

½ medium Vidalia onion, chopped

1 boneless chicken breast, cubed

1 12 oz. beer

1 packet Goya Sazon con Azafran

1 tsp. crushed red pepper (add more if you want a spicier dish)
