Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 skinless chicken breast pieces, 6-8 oz each
• sea salt and pepper
• olive oil spray
• 1 tsp of fennel seeds, divided
• 1 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes, divided
• 2 red onions cut into thick slices
• 4-6 plum tomatoes cut in half lengthwise
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed (jar garlic will work)
• grated zest of one lemon
• juice from two lemons
• basil leaves, shredded

Instructions:

Spray the chicken with olive oil spray. Sprinkle with grated sea salt and pepper to taste. In a small bowl mix half of the fennel seeds with half of the crushed pepper flakes. Sprinkle them over the chicken.

Spray your grill or grill pan. Cook the chicken, spice side down until you get some nice grill marks. Now you can continue to cook the chicken on your grill until done or finish it in the oven. Unless it’s warm and I’m outside, I sear the chicken on my grill pan and then transfer it to an oven-proof pan and let it roast in the oven at 375 for approximately 20 minutes until the chicken has no pink remaining in the middle.

While the chicken is cooking you can grill your veggies. In the grill pan or on the grill, lightly spray the onions and tomatoes and put them on the grill over medium heat and cook until they get grill marks on them and the onion gets soft.

In a bowl mix the rest of the fennel seeds and red pepper flakes along with the garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. This is sort of a dressing.

When the chicken is done plate it with the veggies and then drizzle the whole thing with the dressing. Finish up by garnishing with the basil shreds for garnish and flavor.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
