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

Servings: serves 3 – 4. Can be doubled easily.

This is a “clean out the vegetable drawer meal.” You can take many different vegetables and chop them up to add to this meal. I’ll give you the basics on how to make the chicken dish and then I’ll list the veggies I used. You can let your imagination run wild.

This is very much like kung pao chicken you’d find on an Asian menu. There is some zip to it but you can decide how spicy you’d like yours. Don’t be intimidated by the ingredient list. This comes together fast.

This dish would also be nice made with narrow strips of steak.

Marinade:

• 2 Tbl of Coconut Aminos or Braggs Aminos
• 2 Tbl of sake (if you don’t like alcohol, you can just leave this out)
• 1 tsp of cornstarch
• 1 tsp of sesame oil
• 1 large, skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes or a package of chicken tenders cut into bite-sized pieces.

Mix your marinade and then add the chicken. Stir. Put in your refrigerator and let the flavors meld for about 30 minutes.

Now you’re ready to make the chicken, the sauce and assemble:

• 2 Tbl of ghee or olive oil
• ½ cup of chicken broth or bone broth
• 2 – 3 Tbl of Coconut Aminos or Braggs Aminos
• 2 Tbl of sake (again, this is optional)
• 1 Tbl of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp of cornstarch
• 1 tsp of sesame oil
• 1 Tbl of minced ginger (jar ginger will work)
• 1 Tbl of minced garlic (jar garlic will work)
• ¼ tsp of hot pepper flakes (or to taste)
• 1 cup of dry roasted cocktail peanuts

Instructions:

In a large saute pan, heat your ghee or oil. Put in the chicken and cook on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until there is no pink left in the chicken. Remove the chicken and set it aside, but you can still use the same pan. You might need to add a bit more oil.

In a small bowl, combine the broth, aminos, sake, Worcestershire, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Stir and let it sit for a minute.

In the saute pan add the little bit more oil and your veggies. Begin to saute them. Add the ginger, the garlic and the pepper flakes. Saute a few minutes until the veggies are still a bit crisp but fairly well cooked. Pour the sauce on top and stir. Add the chicken and peanuts. Continue to saute until the sauce begins to thicken. Should only be a minute or two.

For this dish, the veggies I used were: broccoli florets, asparagus pieces, chopped red bell pepper, and green onion bites. Some others I think are winners are: other peppers, snow peas, carrot shreds (a few for color), celery, zucchini chunks, cherry tomatoes and more…

You are now ready to serve.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
