Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.

Anniversary chicken is a rather famous recipe. Been around a long time. I don’t have any idea, though, where the name came from. I made my own twist on this recipe. Most often it’s made with chicken breast. I made mine with chicken tenders. I served this for a small dinner but I can see a platter of these being put on a buffet for a bigger party. I served mine with simple roasted green beans. Quick weeknight meal.

Servings: Serves 2 – 3

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbl olive oil
  • 1 package of chicken tenders (about 8)
  • ¼ cup of teriyaki basting sauce
  • ¼ cup of ranch dressing
  • ½ – 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 4 pieces of bacon, cooked and chopped

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a skillet over medium heat, add the oil and the chicken tenders. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes to get them browned on one side. Place the browned pieces in a 9” x 9” oven proof pan. Spread the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Then drizzle the dressing on top.

Scatter the cheddar cheese over the top as well as the green onions.

Put in the oven to bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until there is no pink remaining in the chicken. If you are not confident, cut one open to check.

While the chicken is baking you can make your bacon if you did not do so in advance.

When the chicken comes out of the oven, sprinkle with the bacon and serve.

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!
