Cooking Instructions
Quarter, core, and dice unpeeled apples. In a 4 quart or larger electric crock pot, combine apples, onion, bell pepper, garlic, currants, curry powder, ginger, and red pepper, stir in tomatoes. Rinse chicken and pat dry, then arrange, overlapping pieces slightly, on top of tomato mixture. Pour in broth. Cover and cook at low setting until chicken is very tender when pierced 6 to 7 hours. Carefully lift chicken to a warm plate, cover lightly, and keep warm in a200 degree oven. Stir rice into cooking liquid. Increase cooker heat setting to high. Cover and cook stirring once or twice until rice is almost tender to bite, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir in shrimp. Cover and cook until shrimp are opaque in center. Cut to test about 10 more minutes. Meanwhile, toast almonds in a small nonstick frying pan over medium heat until golden brown 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside. To serve, season rice mixture to taste with salt. Mound in a warm serving dish, arrange chicken on top. Sprinkle with parsley and almonds.
