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

In the Zola to GO! version of this recipe you can eat the chicken cold or transport it separately and heat the chicken before putting it on the salad. Nice and light either way.

Servings:

Serves 2 – can be doubled easily.

Ingredients:

• 12 oz of chicken tenderloins or chicken breast strips
• grated sea salt
• 1 tsp of minced garlic (jar garlic will work fine)
• 2 tsp of minced ginger (fresh is always best but jar will work for this dish)
• 3 Tbl of rice vinegar
• 1 tsp ofTruvia
• cracked red pepper to taste
• ½ head of napa cabbage (or regular cabbage will work too), shredded
• 5 scallions sliced on the diagonal. White and light green parts only.
• ½ red bell pepper chopped
• ½ yellow bell pepper chopped
• Bragg’s aminos  (1 Tbl plus more for drizzle)
• olive oil cooking spray

Instructions:

Lightly spray your grill pan and add the chicken strips. Grate sea salt over them. Begin to grill them. In a small bowl add the garlic, ginger, rice vinegar and tsp of Truvia with a shake or two of cracked red pepper. Stir and let sit.

Grill the strips until they are browned on one side. Then flip them over. When you do, baste the other side with the mixture in your small bowl. Brush it on with a pastry brush or spread it with a spoon.

Continue grilling the chicken.

In a large sauté pan add in your cabbage. Lightly spray it with olive oil and toss with one tablespoon of Braggs. All you want to do is heat and loosen up the cabbage.

To plate the dish: Put on a mound of cabbage. Remember that you are not limited in cabbage quantity so if you want extra you can have it.  Then scatter on the veggies. Top the veggies with the chicken strips.

If you want your dish spicy you can add extra cracked pepper flakes or sprinkle on some cayenne. This dish is not currently hot. Just a bit zippy. You can also drizzle on a bit more Bragg’s for a bit more Asian flavor. Just be careful. Too much Bragg’s can cause you extra water retention and slow down your weight loss so take it easy.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
