Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add lemongrass, shallots, and ginger; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add curry paste; stirring constantly, until slightly caramelized, about 30 seconds.
- Add chicken broth, coconut milk, and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt; bring to a boil over medium-high, scraping bottom of pan to release browned bits. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Add bok choy; cook, stirring often, until tender, about 4 – 5 minutes.
- In a large skillet heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Sprinkle chicken breasts with pepper and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 165°F, 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- Prepare rice according to package directions. Divide rice, chicken, and curry sauce among 4 shallow bowls. Garnish with basil and lime wedges.
