Vegan Recipe Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich

This vegan chicken sandwich recipe uses precooked seitan patties which are then coated with flour that has been seasoned with a blend of spices to imitate that signature “Chick-Fil-A” taste. Vegan or not, you will surely love this healthier alternative to the classic chicken sandwich.

Seitan is a vegan meat alternative. It is basically a dough made from vital wheat gluten and a binding liquid. The dough is then boiled, steamed or baked to create a meat-like texture. You can buy pre-made seitan in the refrigerated section of supermarkets and health food stores but you can also make it at home. What’s really good about seitan is that you can season it any way you like. Another important step that affects the texture of seitan is kneading. It helps develop gluten and gives elasticity and stretch to the dough. Imitating lighter meat textures such as fish or chicken requires less kneading than imitating tougher meats such as pork or beef.

• 4 precooked seitan chicken patties
• 2 cups of flour
• 3 tsp paprika

Ideas And Tips:

• You can sprinkle more chili powder on the fried chicken patties for an added kick.

• This recipe gives you a version of the spicy sandwich sold in Chick-Fil-A stores but if you want to load it with more vegetable slices, you can add tomato, onion, and lettuce.

• Using powdered sugar may seem unusual but this will give you a nice crispy breading.
