Prep time: 30 minutes

What you need:

• 3 cups brown rice, cooked
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1 pound of cooked chicken strips
• 1 pound squash, diced
• 1/2 cup red pepper, diced
• 8 ounces frozen corn

What to do:

1. Prepare rice in advance.
2. Add oil to skillet and heat on stovetop. Add onions to skillet and sauté until softened and translucent (you can kind of see through them).

4. Stir-fry mixture until squash is barely tender.
5. Add red pepper, corn, green chili, tomato, and spices.
