This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. Okay, so I know this sounds odd but it really tastes very good! Simple to make. It will make even a rookie cook a star.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast pieces
Grated sea salt and pepper
Olive oil spray
1 cup of organic chicken broth (find one with no sugar)
1 tsp of Truvia
3 Tbl of lime juice
2 tsp of Dijon mustard (no sugar)
2 Tbl of water
1 tsp of corn starch

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray an oven proof skillet with olive oil spray. Spray the chicken and grate on the salt and pepper. Place the chicken top-side down in the heated skilled and saute for four minutes on medium high. You are just getting the top side browned. Turn the pieces over and then transfer them to the oven to roast for 20 to 30 minutes more or until they have no more pink showing in the middle (if you don’t have an oven proof pan – like cast iron – you’ll need to transfer the chicken to a pan that is safe for the oven – like a Pyrex one).

While the chicken is roasting, you can make your sauce.

In a small sauce pan add the broth, Truvia, lime juice and mustard. Heat to a slow bubble. In a small dish, combine the corn starch with the water. Stir so the cornstarch dissolves. Add that to the sauce pan and keep it bubbling. Stir with a whisk until the sauce just begins to thicken up; sort of like a glaze. You’re not using very much corn starch so this is not going to thicken like a gravy. You are just making a zesty/sweet sauce. This will only take a few minutes.

Remove the chicken from the oven and pour two tablespoons of sauce per person over the chicken. People who are not on the ZReduction phase of Plan Z can have more sauce.

Serve with your veggie portion and an optional side salad.

Enjoy!
Cheers,
