Georgia-Style County Chicken Captain
1 chicken, cut into 8 pieces, skin removed (about 3 lb.)
2 tsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 T. olive oil
1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 14- to 15-oz. can diced tomatoes with juice
1/4 C. dried currants or raisins
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
2 T. sliced almonds
Sprinkle the chicken pieces with curry powder, salt, and cayenne. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Brown the chicken in oil on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside. sauté the onion and garlic in the same skillet for 3 minutes. Add the green pepper, tomatoes with liquid, currants, and thyme. Bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the skillet; reduce the heat. Cover and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes, spooning the juices over the chicken occasionally. While the chicken is cooking, heat the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes, until slightly browned and fragrant. Sprinkle the dish with toasted almonds at serving time.
