This was very good, tastey, and an all round great combination of some of my favourite foods. I made as stated for all the ingredients but I thought the cooking times sounded to long. I browned the chicken the chicken as stated. But I did the rest on the stove top. I returned the chicken and cooked with a lid on for 20 Min's, added the prawns and cooked for about 8 min's then lastly added asparagus and cooked for about 4 Min's. This to me was perfect, sauce was the right thickness and asparagus still had a crunch. I would definitely make this again and it will go on my list of favourites. All of us said how much we enjoyed it and how yummy the sauce was. Thanks for posting
