Country Captain Chicken

I discovered this recipe, years ago, and even with the interesting ingredients, my children loved it, especially over hot, buttered rice. I thought about it, today, and wanted to share it with the more adventuresome of my readers!

Country Captain Chicken
2 chickens cut into serving pieces
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil or oil of your choice
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves of fresh, peeled garlic, smashed and chopped
3 teaspoons curry powder
1- l pound can of diced tomatoes (approximate so a little more or less is okay)
1/2 cup raisins (It works, really!)

Combine the flour, sale, and pepper in a bag. Shake the chicken in the mixture until all are coated. Brown the chicken pieces in a large skillet with the vegetable oil. Remove to a platter. Do not wipe out the skillet! Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, and curry powder to the skillet. Saute until the onion is softened and transparent. Add tomatoes, raisins, and return the chicken to the pan. Simmer, covered for one hour or until chicken is tender.

Serve chicken over rice and spoon sauce over the top.
