Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (with liquid)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup golden raisins
- 0.25 cup toasted sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cups cooked white or basmati rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the seared chicken to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, curry powder, and ground cumin to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Transfer the sautéed onion, pepper, and spice mixture to the crock pot.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their liquid), tomato paste, chicken broth, and golden raisins to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the chicken is coated in the sauce.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Before serving, sprinkle the dish with toasted sliced almonds and chopped parsley for added texture and freshness.
Serve the country captain chicken over cooked white or basmati rice, if desired.
