Making vegetarian TVP chicken strips is fast and easy and this article shows you how in a few short steps.
Instructions
Make TVP Into Vegetarian Chicken Strips
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Combine the vegetarian chicken bouillon granules, poultry seasoning, and celery seed in a medium saucepan. Stir in 1 cup of water. Add TVP granules. Heat the mixture to boil over medium heat.
3. Boil mixture for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a small bowl or plate. Place the bowl to the side.
5. Place the TVP mixture into a bowl with 1/8 cup of flour. Combine, slowly adding more flour by the tablespoon until consistency is firm.
6. Remove the TYP mixture from the bowl and place it on a cutting board. Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten the TVP to 1 to 1 ½ inch thickness. Using a knife or your hands, cut or shape the TVP into chicken-strip-like pieces.
7. Dip the TVP chicken strips into the bowl containing the bread crumb mixture, thoroughly coating the pieces.
8. Place TVP chicken strips onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
9. Serve TVP chicken strips with dipping sauces such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue.
