Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/2 cup flour use gluten-free flour if needed
For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder mild blend preferred
  • 1 medium onion chopped finely
  • 1 cup bell peppers sliced, colorful varieties
  • 1 can tomatoes fresh or canned
  • 1/2 cup raisins optional

For Broth

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dredging your chicken pieces in flour, ensuring they're evenly coated for a nice brown crust. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the chicken, cooking each side for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and sliced bell peppers, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they become soft and fragrant. This step builds a flavorful base for your Country Captain Chicken.
  3. Lower the heat slightly, then stir in the curry powder, diced tomatoes, and raisins. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Return the browned chicken to the skillet, placing it atop your aromatic sauce. Pour in your choice of broth until it just covers the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 50 minutes.
  5. Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, remove the skillet from heat. Serve your Country Captain Chicken over a bed of fluffy rice, garnished with toasted almonds.
