Instructions

  1. Mix cilantro, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add chicken; toss to coat, pressing mixture to adhere if necessary.

  2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Heat over medium heat, add chicken and onions, and cook, turning chicken once, 4 to 5 minutes until browned.

  3. Add remaining ingredients except frozen squash, if using. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 25 minutes, adding frozen squash for last 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and squash is tender.

Why this Tex-Mex Chicken and Squash Stew works for PCOS

A meal like this Tex-Mex Chicken and Squash Stew that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
