INGREDIENTS

1 3/4 cups brown rice, dry

1 1/2 teaspoon salt-free chili-lime seasoning blend

1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 cup onion, diced

4 cups (16 oz.) pre-cooked fajita chicken strips

3 1/2 cups butternut squash, peeled, diced into 1/2” inch pieces

1/2 cup fresh red bell pepper, diced

1 cup whole corn kernels

1/2 cup diced green chilies

1/2 cup canned low-sodium diced tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

STEPS

  1. Rinse fresh vegetables before cooking. Combine brown rice and 4 1/2 cups water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low. Cover and cook until water is absorbed, about 30-40 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt-free seasoning blend, granulated garlic, and cilantro. Mix well. Cover and keep warm.
  2. Heat canola oil in a large skillet. Cook onions for 2 minutes until soft.
  3. Add chicken, squash, and remaining salt-free seasoning blend. Stir-fry over high heat for 10 minutes or until squash is tender.
  4. Add red peppers, corn, green chilies, tomatoes, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for no longer than 2 minutes so vegetables remain crunchy. Do not overcook. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 2 minutes. Serve hot.

IDEAS

  • Use fresh, frozen, or canned corn.
  • A rice cooker may be used to cook the same quantity of rice.
