SLOW-COOKER COUNTRY CAPTAIN CHICKEN

Slow-Cooker Country Captain Chicken image

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
