Z2: Entrees

In the Zola to GO! version of this recipe you can eat the chicken cold or transport it separately and heat the chicken before putting it on the salad.

This recipe was submitted by Zola Diet participant, Amy Z. Amy says, "This was great. The kids gobbled them up!"

This is a fairly mild recipe for what is usually a HOT dish. SUPER easy!

For those dieters on the run, who want simple meals they can make pretty fast when they get home I design recipes like this one.

This is a wonderfully, light and different taste. Anyone who likes chicken piccatta (lemon) will likely like this but it’s not as tart either so for those of you who want to venture out a bit…

Even the family will love this. Very French Country. It’s also fancy enough to serve to company.

If you are familiar with adobo chicken. you will recognize it as a full-flavored Mexican dish. Not all Mexican food is spicy. This is pretty mild but packs flavor punch.

Want old-time, Southern fried chicken? Well you’re not going to get it on Z2 but this is as close as I can get. It will remind you of the batter-fried flavor without the carbohydrates and oil.

Two of my favorite Cajun dishes are etouffee and Marengo. Like lots of Cajun food they are basically stews. Simple, flavorful meals.

This is an amazingly easy dish to make. On a diet like this Mexican or South American food would not normally be possible but this tastes authentic and has no rice or potatoes.

You can also have a salad on the side with a few bits of celery and cucumber.

This will be your vegetables, your protein and half of your fruit.

A mild Italian dish that tastes fresh and healthy.

You can do this recipe in kebab form but I took a different twist and did the grilling in a grill basket.

These little meatloaves transport very easily. They can be taken to work for lunch, or a picnic in the park. I hope you enjoy them!

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

This is a very simple stir-fry. It’s really just your asian veggies with shrimp or chicken added. Super easy, super quick.

Here is the first of two wing dishes I served this Super Bowl. Judging by the empty plates and happy faces I think they went down very well.

This is a dish you can mix up before work and it’s all ready to cook when you get home. Just takes a few minutes to get the marinade ready.

This tastes pretty darn authentic. Creole… or low country food. If you want it spicy you might consider adding a bit of cayenne (1/4 tsp) or the same amount of red pepper flakes. An final alternative would be to put a bottle of Tabasco on the table for people to add their own.
