Tasty lunch or dinner idea around 300cal:

200g skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced.
100g mixed vegetables (fresh or frozen),
juice of 1 lemon,
1tsp of minced garlic.
sprinkle of mixed herbs (I use a generic italian herb mix)
olive oil cooking spray

I lightly spray a pan with olive oil spray, squeeze in lemon juice, add garlic and herbs and mix it around with a spatula. Turn on heat to high, add the chicken.
Meanwhile I microwave the veggies with a little bit of water for about 3-4 mins. And then when the chicken is browned up i put it on lower heat, add the veggies and toss in to combine the flavours. Sometimes I dollop some light cream cheese on top, or have just the beautifully flavoured cooked chicken in a wrap with grated carrot and lettuce etc. It's quick and simple, but I eat it all the time and love the flavours!
