Double or triple this if you like. It's one of the most low cal, filling, and nutrient-packed of all recipes, and freezes well. Shovel what's left over into Ziplocs, lunch containers, or freezer. Tastes even better with re-heating!

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

cooking spray
3 lbs skinless chicken breasts, all fat removed
2 cups frozen broccoli florets
1 cup frozen edamame
1 cup yellow squash
1 cup baby carrot
2 cups sliced red peppers, and
orange bell pepper
1 (16 ounce) container barbecue sauce (sugar free if possible)

Directions

1
Spray skillet with cooking spray.
2
Cut chicken into small chunks.
3
Over medium high heat, sautee chicken until golden.
4
Pour off all drippings, leave chicken in pan.
5
Add whole container of barbecue sauce, stir, then add all the vegetables.
6
Reheat all, stirring occasionally, adding more water if sauce too thick.
7
Let simmer and serve in 4 ounce portions.

Further note 1) : Sugar free barbecue sauce has 1/6th or less sugar of regular barbecue sauce. I got mine online at Amazon.com. Smokin' Joe Jones No Sugar and Walden Farms Calorie Free are both terrific. I sometimes further thin them with water.

2) Keep a Ziploc bulging with pre-cut pretty-colored peppers & squash. You do the washing and cutting all at once (ugh), but then they're ready and you just dump them inches.
