Ingredients

3 cups water
1 ½ cups uncooked basmati rice

1 yellow squash, sliced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

Meanwhile, combine pasta sauce, chicken, tomatoes, yellow squash, mushrooms, and garlic in a large skillet. Simmer until vegetables and rice are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt.
Serve chicken and vegetables over rice.
