Country Captain Chicken Recipe
"Country Captain originated in India but has been served in the South since the earliest American colonies were founded. It was a favorite dish of General Patton and is included in the Army's Meals Ready to Eat in honor of the general. This recipe has been in my family for generations. —Sarah Ellen McKenney, Taylors, South Carolina..."
