Plant-Based Poultry-Free Strips: A Vegan Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
– 2 cups vital wheat gluten – 1/4 cup nutritional yeast – 1 tbsp onion powder – 1 tbsp garlic powder – 2 tsp smoked paprika – 1 tsp black pepper – 1.5 cups vegetable broth – 3 tbsp soy sauce – 2 tsp liquid smoke – For the breading: – 1 cup flour – 2 tsp salt – Pepper to taste – Any other spices you like (optional) – A splash of unsweetened plant-based milkInstructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. 2. In another bowl, mix together the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and liquid smoke. 3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until combined. 4. Knead the dough for about five minutes until it becomes elastic. 5. Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it into strips or nuggets. 6. Prepare your breading station by mixing flour with salt and pepper (and any other spices you like) in one bowl and plant-based milk in another. 7. Dip each vegan chicken strip into the milk, then into the flour mixture making sure each piece is well coated. 8. Repeat this process for all pieces. 9. Heat up some oil in a pan over medium heat (enough to cover about half of your strips). When hot enough, carefully place your breaded vegan chicken strips in the pan. 10. Cook them on each side until they are golden brown (roughly five minutes per side). 11. Once cooked place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. 12. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal!Note:
These vegan chicken strips can be kept in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for future use!
