Ingredients:

Serving

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 carrots
2 cups sliced red peppers , and
orange bell pepper
1 (16 oz) container barbecue sauce (sugar free if possible)

Directions:

Spray skillet with cooking spray.
Cut chicken into small chunks.
Over medium high heat, sautee chicken until golden.
Pour off all drippings, leave chicken in pan.
Add whole container of barbecue sauce, stir, then add all the vegetables.
Reheat all, stirring occasionally, adding more water if sauce too thick.
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 . 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.
