After years of searching and testing, I have finally found the perfect fake chicken for chicken salad, and thus, I have created a delicious (if I do say so myself) fake chicken salad recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 bag of Quorn Tenders (meatless chicken product that looks like bites of chicken)
• 2 Tbs. Mayonnaise
• 2 Tbs. Sour Cream
• 2 Celery Stalks (chopped)
• 2-3 Green Onions (chopped)
• 2-3 Hard Boiled Eggs (optional)
• Splash of Dijon Mustard
• 1-2 Tbs. Pickle Relish (based on your taste preferences)
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Garlic Powder to taste

Method

1. Cook Quorn Tenders in microwave until they are defrosted.  I put them in the fridge after cooking them because I wanted my chicken salad to be cold, but you could process to the next step with warm Tenders.
2. Mix Tenders, mayonnaise, sour cream, celery, green onions and eggs together.
3. After you have the main ingredients, you can start to add the pickle relish, salt and pepper and garlic powder to taste.
4. I used very little garlic, but quite a bit of salt and pepper.
5. I also through in a bit of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.

I suggest you enjoy this wonderful concoctions on a croissant, but it is nearly as good on regular bread.

• Soy Steak Strips OR Vege Burger Patties OR vege-chicken patties
• Large Green Pepper
• Large White Onion
• Hoagie Rolls
• Velveeta Cheese
• Worchestershire sauce

Method

• Cut pepper and onion into long thin pieces
• First, warm up the fake meat in the microwave, about half of the required cook time (according to box instructions)
• Warm olive oil/spray in frying pan on medium heat
• If using chicken or burger patties, cut into strips. If using steak strips, leave as is
• Put pepper, onion, fake meat into frying pan (when pan is heated up)
• Splash in some worchestershire sauce (to taste)
• Put hoagie rolls in microwave to warm, or in oven if you prefer a crusty roll (instead of soft)
• Cook until onions and peppers are soft, and fake meat is 98% done
• some of the fake meat may crumble or clump together. This is totally okay.
• add velveeta for a few minutes until melted fully
• remove from pan, put desired amount onto rolls
• add ketchup if you want, salt and pepper to taste…serve with sweet potato chips, fries, whatever you want…

• 1 head shredded iceberg lettuce
• 2 stalks of chopped green onions
• 4 faux chicken patties
• ½ pkg. of wontons (just pick-up a bag of already cooked wontons from a Chinese Restaurant)
• ¼ cup toasted slivered almonds

Dressing Ingredients

• ¼ cup vegetable oil or olive oil
• ¼ cup sugar
• ¼ cup white vinegar
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. Accent seasoning

Method

• In frying pan, add all dressing ingredients.
• Heat on low-medium until all sugar is melted. When dressing is proper consistency, remove from heat. It should be room temperature when you add it to the top of the salad. Put in fridge to speed up process if you want. While it is cooling, you can do the rest of the recipe, which should time it just about right.
• Put chicken patties in oven (preferred) or microwave to cook according to directions on package. It’s best for these to be crispy for this salad, which is why the oven method is preferred.
• In big mixing bowl, add lettuce, onion and almonds. Mix well.
• Break up the wontons into manageable, bite size pieces, then add wontons to mixing bowl too. Mix well again.
• When chicken patties are cooked, cut them into long strips.
• If you’re serving the whole recipe, add the dressing to the mixing bowl, and mix well. If just making a small batch now, add salad to plate, drizzle dressing on top.
• Add chicken strips to top of salad.
• Eat!

• Fake Chicken Patties OR fake buffalo bites (morning star brand is our recommendation)
• Potato Dinner Rolls
• Muenster Cheese (substitute cheddar or swiss depending on your tastes)
• Lettuce
• Cherry Tomato (or other small variety) sliced
• Ketchup
• Ranch (optional)

Method

• Cook chicken patties or buffalo bites according to directions. Oven method is recommended
• Add cheese at the very end of cooking time, just enough to melt on the chicken
• Split and microwave the potato rolls on high for 20 seconds
• Cut cooked patties into small, roll-sized pieces, usually about 2 x 2 inches
• Squirt a little ketchup onto the base of the roll, then place the patty on top.
• Put one small piece of lettuce, two small slices of tomato on each roll
• Put a little ranch on top
• Close up the rolls and enjoy. They should be soft still if you’ve heated the rolls sufficiently.

Add fries, potato wedges or chips as a side if you’re willing to go the extra mile
