1. Cook rice as directed on package.
2. Meanwhile, cut chicken into 2x1/4-inch strips. Spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder. Cook and stir 4 to 6 minutes or until brown. Add onion; cook and stir 2 minutes.
3. Stir in frozen vegetables and water. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
4. Mix stir-fry sauce and cornstarch until smooth; stir into mixture in skillet. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Divide rice among bowls. Top with chicken mixture.

Substitution
Either Szechuan or ginger-garlic stir-fry sauce can be used instead of the lemon-basil stir-fry sauce. Add 1 teaspoon each lemon juice and chopped fresh basil leaves to match the flavor of this recipe.

Variation
Choose any blend of frozen vegetables that happen to be a family favorite. One suggestion: frozen baby peas, carrots, pea pods and corn.
