Ingredients
• 4 cups chopped bok choy • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced • 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast halves, 4 (4-ounce) halves • Salt and ground black pepper • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth • 1/2 cup sake (rice wine) • 2 teaspoons sesame oil • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger • 1 tablespoon red curry paste • 1/4 cup flaked coconut • 2 cups quick cooking jasmine rice • 2 (14-ounce) can light coconut milk • 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
Arrange bok choy and red pepper in bottom of slow cooker. Season 4 chicken breast halves all over with salt and black pepper and place on top of bok choy.
In a small bowl, whisk together broth, sake, sesame oil, ginger, and curry paste. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
In a small skillet toast flaked coconut on low heat until lightly toasted, about 5 to 8 minutes.
