Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This is a fairly mild recipe for what is usually a HOT dish. SUPER easy!

This jerk chicken will wake up your taste buds without assaulting your sense of taste. Be careful how much sauce you consume. Too much Braggs can cause you to retain water but it will only be for one day.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced into 1” wide strips
  • ¼ cup of chopped onion
  • 2 tsp of Truvia
  • 4 Tbl of Bragg’s Aminos
  • 4 Tbl of red wine vinegar or balsamic
  • 2 tsp of fresh thyme
  • 4 cloves of garlic (jar garlic will work fine)
  • ½ tsp of ground allspice
  • 1 habanero chili. Cut off the stem and chop into chunks. Be careful. If this stuff gets in your eye it will HURT.

Instructions:

Put all of the ingredients (except the chicken) in a small blender. Whiz until fully blended. Put the chicken in a large ziplock bag and add ¾ of the marinade. Let sit in your refrigerator at least an hour. The longer it sits the hotter the flavor will be.  You can even let it sit overnight if you want full-on flavor.

Preheat broiler. Place chicken on a cookie sheet sprayed with olive oil spray. Broil chicken 7 minutes on one side (about 4” from the source of the heat). Turn over and broil 7 minutes on the other side or until no pink remains in the chicken pieces,

Optional: You can also grill the chicken on a charcoal or gas grill.

Heat the remaining sauce in a small sauce pan so you can serve it with the chicken.

I served this with cold veggies. This is a great dish on a hot night. Most folks think of this as a summer dish but it can be served anytime.

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!
