  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block of firm tofu or store-bought vegan chicken slices
  • 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast or vegan chicken seasoning (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Start by draining the excess water from the tofu block or vegan chicken slices. If using tofu, press it gently to remove moisture, then cut into strips or desired shapes.
  2. Sprinkle the nutritional yeast or vegan chicken seasoning evenly over the tofu or slices. Toss gently to coat all sides thoroughly.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coated tofu or vegan chicken slices. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  4. Once cooked, serve your easy vegan chicken immediately. Pair it with salads, wraps, or pasta dishes. For added flavor, incorporate herbs, spices, or favorite sauces.

Notes

  • Optional add-ons include fresh herbs, spices, or a splash of soy sauce for enhanced taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat by sautéing in a skillet or microwaving until warmed through.
  • For a crispy texture, use an air fryer or oven for cooking instead of stovetop.
