Chicken "Alfredo" - phase 1

3-4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
2 Tbsp. EVOO
1 Red Pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 c. sliced mushrooms
1-2 c. Broccoli Florets, cooked el dente
1 1/2 c. Chicken Stock
8 oz. Fat Free Cream Cheese
1/2 Packet Ranch dressing or dip powder
Parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. Cut chicken to bite size pieces and cook until almost done.  Add veggies and saute using 3/4 c. of the broth to de-glaze the pan and cook the veggies until soft.
2. In a separate pan mix 3/4 c. broth, cream cheese and ranch powder mix until smooth.  Reduce until slightly thickened.  Add the veggies and chicken.
3. Serve hot with parmesan sprinkled over it.

I served this over steamed cauliflower instead of pasta.  Was very yummy and totally feels like a cheater meal.  Tastes like one too....Could probably use Spaghetti squash on a different phase but for phase one, cauli is my first choice.  I may have to try adding some dijon mustard to the mix and possibly some other veggies like spinach...I haven't even considered yet how to make this Dairy Free...not sure I care for the Substitute cream cheese.
