Chicken Patty Salad

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

Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 8 oz of ground chicken breast
• olive oil spray
• spice blend of choice
• 2 handfuls of greens
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• ¼ cup of sliced cucumber
• 1/8 cup of sliced onion
• 3 Tbl of salad dressing

Instructions:

Divide the chicken breast into two patties; just like you would a hamburger. Ground chicken is very gooey so just keep your hands wet while you handle it and it will cooperate just fine.

Lightly spray your sauté pan with olive oil spray. Just a spritz. Set your chicken patties in the pan and begin to cook on medium high. These will cook just like beef burgers.

While they are cooking sprinkle on your spice blend of choice. You might use celery salt if you want them mild or you can use any meat rub or Cajun blend if you like them zippy.

When the chicken is light brown on one side, flip it over to cook the other side. You need to cook them until there is no pink in the middle but you’ll be amazed at how moist they stay if you don’t over cook them.

While the chicken is cooking, assemble your salad ingredients. Arrange your greens and toss with dressing. Add the veggies and then place your cooked chicken patty on top.

This makes a rather elegant meal. Enjoy with some breadsticks to round it out and then follow up with your fruit.

For Zola To GO!, just cook the patties ahead. Put them in a baggie and transport the salad and the patties separately. When you want to eat, heat the burger and toss the salad with the veggies.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
