In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Dredge each chicken breast in flour then place in the skillet.
2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
Allow to cook for 5-7 minutes then flip and cook another 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the onion, peppers, and garlic to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
1 cup diced onion, 2 cups bell peppers, 2 cloves garlic
Add in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, curry, and paprika then mix well. Bring to a simmer then add the chicken back in.
28 ounces diced tomatoes, ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon ground paprika
Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the chicken to reheat.
Remove from heat, garnish with slivered almonds and serve with rice.
¼ cup slivered almonds

*Boneless, skinless chicken thighs also work.

Tips:

If you like spicy, I recommend adding some ground cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or diced jalapeno peppers to kick up the heat.
You can also make this dish creamy by swapping out some of the chicken broth for coconut milk. I recommend using room-temperature canned coconut milk to prevent curdling.

Storage: Store country captain chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
