Legend has it that the recipe for country captain chicken was brought to Georgia in the early 1800s by a British sea captain. Although it's traditional to serve this over rice, it's also delicious with noodles or mashed potatoes. —Suzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup golden raisins or raisins
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

Chopped fresh parsley, optional

Directions

Place onion, pepper and garlic in a 6-qt. slow cooker. Arrange chicken pieces over vegetables.
Whisk the next 5 ingredients with the chicken broth. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Add raisins and tomatoes. Reduce heat to low and cook until a thermometer reads 165°, about 2-1/2 hours. Serve over rice; if desired, sprinkle with parsley.
