The Chicken Country Captain is a dish that is representative of regional Southern cuisine, Bailey says.

Our version at The Grey is inspired by the traditions and ingredients around us.

At medium heat, brown off all of the chicken in batches without crowding the pan.

Depending on the size of your pan this may take 2-3 batches.

Set the chicken aside to make the sauce.

Discard the fat and in the same Rondue add 3 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Sweat the onions, peppers and garlic on low heat until fragrant and translucent.

Lightly season with salt and pepper.

Stir together until the curry coats the vegetables.
