Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. I originally came across a recipe similar to this in an Italian cookbook made up of recipes from Italian movie stars. Anna Maria Allberghetti offered her family’s recipe. I have adapted it to the ZReboot portion of Plan Z. It’s wonderful. It’s perfect for serving to guests too. A nice dinner party. Italians of course serve this with pasta. We served it with green beans and never missed the spaghetti.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4, 6 – 8 oz chicken breasts. Try to eat the organic ones that have not been fed hormones.
• ½ cup of crumbs made from grinding up Melba toast or breadsticks
• 1 Tbl of butter or ghee
• 2 Tbl of olive oil
• 1 egg broken onto a plate and then stirred with a fork to break it up.
• garlic powder and sea salt
• 26 oz jar of marinara sauce. Get one that has only fresh ingredients in it. No preservatives.
• ½ cup of whipping cream
• 12 slices of baby swiss cheese
• 1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions:

To  prepare your work surface you need to set up a bit of a production line. Take two dinner plates and put the egg on one and the crumbs on the other.

Then take out your large sauté pan and put in the butter and oil. I learned a very important lesson from this recipe years ago. The butter and olive oil recipe works wonders to keep the butter from burning. And it tastes great so I use this technique often.

Heat the butter and oil. Sprinkle your chicken with the garlic powder and sea salt. Then dip your chicken in the egg on both sides and then lightly into the crumbs on both sides. Then place top down in the butter/oil combo. Do this with all 4 pieces of chicken. Saute on medium until the chicken is lightly golden on both sides.

While the chicken is browning you can take out your 9″ x 13″ ovenproof pan and pour in the marinara sauce. Add the cream and stir until the cream is all blended in.

When the chicken is golden on the outside place it top up on top of the sauce. Don’t worry that it’s not cooked through yet. You are going to bake it.

On top of the chicken place 2 or 3 slices of cheese. Do this for each breast.

Cover lightly with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 20 – 30 minutes (depends on how big your chicken breast pieces are). Remove from oven and cut one open a bit to make sure there’s no pink left in the chicken. If there is, put it back in the oven for a few minutes more.

Then remove the aluminum foil and add the parmesan cheese on top of the chicken. Just mound it.

Place back in the oven for 10 minutes to melt and firm up the Parmesan cheese. It makes a bit of a stiff crust.

Serve with your veggies for a fine meal.

Enjoy!
