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

Some love the more exotic taste of Indian food. On Plan Z you can make your own simple recipes at home that follow ZReduction. Indian food is usually like a stew and is traditionally served over rice with a bread called naan. You’ll be skipping the rice and naan but can still fully enjoy Indian food.

Serving Size: Serves 3 and can easily be doubled.

Each serving is 1-1/2 cups

Ingredients:

• 3 boneless chicken breast halves cut into chunks. Shoot for 1” cubes
• 2 onions chopped. I do 1” pieces so they are easy to stab with my fork.
• 1-2 Tbl of curry powder you can adjust according to your taste. If this is your first time making Indian food, start with one.
• Chili flakes to taste. Cracked red pepper is the same thing. Some like their Indian food VERY spicy. You can start mild and work your way up to your own taste.  I just like a bit of zip.
• 1-1/2 cups of organic chicken broth
• ¼ cup of cream
• 2 cups of cooked green beans cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions:

Heat a bit of olive oil spray in a sauté pan. Add the chicken chunks. Begin to cook on medium high until one side is browned. Then add the onion and continue to cook until the onion loosens up. Stir chicken regularly.  Add the curry powder, chili flakes and chicken broth. Turn down to a medium heat an continue to cook on a low boil for about 10-12 minutes until some of the juice evaporates and the flavors will meld together. Make sure the chicken bites are cooked through and no pink remains.

Add the cream and cook down a bit more until the sauce begins to reduce and gets a bit thicker.

I add the cooked green beans at the end so they are floating on top. Otherwise the whole dish would be covered in the sauce and be yellowish brown. You can decide your own method. You have the option of putting the beans in when you put in the organic broth and they will cook right along with the chicken. That actually saves you a step.

Eat this like a chunky soup or stew and enjoy! This dish is your veggie and protein allotment. You can have a plain salad on the side and your breadstick or cracker portion.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
