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

Servings: Serves 6 – 8 servings

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of ground chicken breast (you could make this with diced chicken, in this case the chicken burger makes a nice change and it feels like you get to eat more)
  • 1 cup of Vidalia onion, chopped (any sweet, white onion or even hot onion will do)
  • 1 – 2 tsp of seasoning. I used Cajun. You can use Italian if you want, or Mexican blend, even chili powder for a chicken taco feel, tarragon for French, or herbs d’ Provence will make a fun French version too. You can use curry powder for an Indian version. Even consider a meat rub for a barbecue/American version.
  • 1 cup of chopped celery
  • 1 cup of chopped bell pepper (I used red but you can use red, yellow, orange and/or green)
  • 1 cup of chopped tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup of organic chicken broth (optional)
  • handful of greens per person (optional)

Instructions:

Lightly spray your pan with olive oil spray. Brown the chicken and onion on medium-high. Continually break up the mixture so you get a chunky hash/taco sort of texture to the meat. Add your seasoning of choice while the meat is cooking. Turn down to medium-low.

When almost cooked and no longer any pink in the chicken, add the celery, peppers and tomatoes. Heat those up. You still want your celery to be a bit crunchy. At the end I added a bit of broth and let that heat. That gave me a moisture level that was almost like gravy – a wet salad.

In a large bowl add as many greens as you want and then pile on your portion. Chow down.

If you want a taco feel, roll portions of the meat in romaine lettuce leaves.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Roasted Prime Rib

When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

Chive Butter Biscuits

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
