Country Captain is a classic American recipe that is indigenous to the low country region in Georgia and South Carolina.  The origins of this dish are hard to decipher as many different stories about its creation have emerged over the years. 

The most popular version contends that during the 1800's, a sea captain arrived in the port of Charleston with a shipment of spices from India and one of the locals prepared a meal for him that consisted of chicken seasoned with some of the captain's curry powder.  Some sources explain that a "country captain" is an Anglo-Indian term pertaining to a captain of a ship from a foreign country.

So much for history, let's eat!
