Whether it was brought by a British sailor or not, the recipe for Country Captain Chicken has been around Georgia since the 1800s. Traditionally served over rice, it's also delicious with noodles or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 cup golden raisins or raisins
