Instructions
- Cook the rice in plenty of boiling water until tender, for about 12 mins.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and sauté the chicken for about 3-4 mins, until browned. Add the celery, onion, green pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring, for about 3 mins, until softened.
- Add the Cajun seasoning and thyme. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for a further 5 mins.
- Drain the rice thoroughly, then add it to the frying pan with the stir-in sauce, stirring well to combine. Add the prawns and cook for another 2-3 mins, until thoroughly heated, then serve.
- Cool any leftovers quickly and keep covered and refrigerated. Use the next day - either thoroughly re-heated, or eaten cold for a packed lunch.
