This Country Captain Casserole recipe has been around for years. Not sure of its origins or how they came up with the name for this recipe. But I finally decided to make it, with a few tweaks, and I was surprised at how good it was. There’s tons of flavor in this casserole thanks to the apple, curry, and raisins. If you like curry, then I would suggest you give this one a try.
Now while the Country Captain Casserole recipe below has you cook the chicken ahead of time, you could easily use pre-cooked chicken (like you would find at Costco). You just won’t need to do step 1.
🐓 How to Handle Raw Chicken
1- Leave the chicken in the fridge until ready to use.
2- Be careful of dripping juices. Clean up immediately.
3- Do not wash raw chicken (prevents cross-contamination).
4- Wash all utensils and cutting board (if applicable).
5- If marinating the chicken, make sure you toss the juices before you cook. Don't ever use the juice from the marinade.
6- Wash your hands after handling raw chicken.
I've made this recipe both ways and it always turns out great. You can serve this dish on a bed of white rice like we did this time, or alone, on noodles or even use it in a Burrito! It doesn't really matter how you enjoy this recipe, the flavor is just awesome.
