STEP 4 MOD: If you've chosen to add prawns to your meal, add them to the pan at the same time you return the chicken to it. Stir together with the veg and cook for 3-4 mins more. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
