Garlic Fried Chicken

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.

Chicken and “Sausage” Etouffee (Cajun Stew)

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

Mayan Chicken Stew

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.

Italian Crock Pot Chicken

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

Mini-Meatloaves

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!

Chicken Patty Salad

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

Stuffed Poblano Chilies

Fans of Mexican food will love these. Easy to make and perfect for heating leftovers. Give them a try.

Chili #4

I have designed several chili recipes for Plan Z. This is one of those that is very straightforward and simple. It doesn’t even have a lot of ingredients.

Ground Beef and Roasted Poblano Roll-Ups

It’s really a sort of Spanish-Mexican comfort food. You can, of course, make them spicy if you want to.

Taco Two Salad

I had a hankerin’’ for a taco salad. I wanted some hot taco meat with a cold salad as a counter-point. Decided to make a new recipe so this is our second taco salad recipe. Taco Two!

Asian Sirloin Steak Stir Fry

The leftovers for this meal will travel well so make extra and you can take some to work for lunch! This is not an overly spicy dish. If you want it HOT you can add some cayenne.

Beef with Zola’s Asian Orange Sauce

We had a big party the other day. I wanted to serve several items that are approved on Plan Z. This beef recipe can even be eaten on the ZReduction portion of the diet.

Zola Burgers

These burgers are ultra-easy to make. You can even form patties and freeze them for later grilling or grill a bunch at once so you can have leftovers.

Cooked Cabbage Salad

This recipe is compliments of Dieter Rose. Rose loves cooked cabbage and this does the trick for her. You can take this to work cold and reheat in the microwave too.

Savory Burgers

New recipe from Plan Z HQ. I was making a simple burger today for lunch and decided to jazz it up.

Meatloaf

A really simple recipe the whole family will enjoy.

Grilled Beef Kebabs with Grilled Green Beans

I wish I had come up with this kebab months ago! It’s a tad on the Asian-side, but not outright Asian-tasting.

Chunky Chicken Chili

We made this during a snow storm, the taste took off the chill of the day.

Summer Garden Bruschetta Salad with Chicken by Chef Josh

This recipe is a great one for the summer. It would be equally delicious with salmon.

French Chicken with Lemon-Tarragon Cream Sauce

A delightful chicken dish that tastes very French. This is super easy to make and dieters are enjoying it all over the country.
