This Chef V recipe satisfies a craving for carbs with high fiber brown rice, healthy seasonings, and very flavorful veggies. Make it easy on yourself and prep enough for several meals, so when you aren’t motivated but have to eat, you reach for this healthy entrée and not for chips.

Chef V tip: For more protein, add 1 pound chopped grilled chicken. This is a great side or a meal in itself.
