How to cook it
-
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken, seasoned with salt, pepper, and cumin, until browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes, then remove.
-
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
-
Add the squash, zucchini, and corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 8 minutes.
-
Stir in the green chiles and return the chicken to the skillet, cooking another 2 minutes to heat through.
-
Scatter the cheese over the top, cover briefly until melted, and serve. Tagged as a main rather than a vegetable dish, because tex_mex opens no vegetable slot.
