Curried apricot chicken with coconut rice

To make the coconut rice, place rice, milk and 1¹⁄³ cups of water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, for about 10 to 12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is just tender. Remove from heat. Stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Separate grains with a fork. Cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, drain apricots, reserving ¹⁄³ of a cup juice. Coarsely chop the apricots. 

Heat half the oil in a large, deep, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add chicken in two batches. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Remove. 

 Add remaining oil to the same pan over a medium to high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add curry powder and cook, stirring for 1 minute. 

 Add the apricots and reserved juice. Return chicken. Simmer, stirring occasionally for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly thickened and chicken is cooked through. Stir in the coriander and season with salt and pepper.

Serve with rice and broccolini
