    Country Captain Casserole

    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.

    Country Captain Casserole

    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.

    💭 Recipe Tip

    Don't you hate it when raisins get stuck together in a big clump? To unstick the raisins, wet your hands with a little water then work the raisins apart.

    An alternative to using chicken broth is Better Than Bouillon. I often use it when I don't have broth on hand.

    Country Captain Casserole

    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

    Leave the chicken in the fridge until ready to use.
    Be careful of dripping juices. Clean up immediately.
    Do not wash raw chicken (which prevents cross-contamination).
    Wash all utensils and cutting boards (if applicable).
    If marinating the chicken, make sure you toss the juices before you cook. Don't ever use the juice from the marinade.
    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.

      My son loves chicken so I decided to make this recipe. This was a great hit especially since he is a picky eater. Very tasty and flavourful.
