Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet; add chicken to skillet. Add mushrooms; cook over medium-high heat for 4 minutes, turning chicken halfway through. Add broccoli, lemon juice and lemon slices; cover; cook 8 - 10 minutes, or until chicken is done.
In the meantime, make the sauce:
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add garlic; cook, stirring often, just until fragrant. DO NOT burn the garlic. Turn heat down to medium-low; add broth/stock, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese; cook and stir for about 3 minutes, or until cheeses have melted and sauce is thickened.
Remove from heat.
Serve chicken and vegetables with Alfredo sauce drizzled on top.
4 servings.
*If wanting more sauce, add a little bit more broth and cheese.
