Here's one of my latest LC creations. Enjoy!

CREAMY CHEESY CHICKEN (One serving)

2 T. butter
1 clove garlic, minced
8 oz. chicken breast, boneless, skinless
1/2 cup broccoli, cut up
1/2 cup cauliflower, cut up
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 T. grated Parmesan-Romano cheese
Salt & pepper to taste

Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Melt 1 T. butter in heavy wok-type pan. Saute garlic until yellow. Add chicken and stir-fry over medium high heat until nearly cooked through. Salt & pepper meat while cooking to bring out juices. Remove meat from pan. Add veggies and stir-fry for a few minutes. Add about 2 T. water & stir. Lower heat, then cover to steam, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Return cooked chicken to pan. Add cream and bring to boil, stirring frequently until the sauce cooks down and thickens. Add 1 T. butter and grated cheese. Stir until melted and serve.

This is a delicious one-dish meal! Here's the nutritional breakdown (not including salt & pepper). If you want to lower the fat & calories a bit, eliminate the second T. of butter:
