Time 1h

Yield 12 nuggets

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup soymilk (or other plant based milk)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
15 ounces chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup textured vegetable protein (TVP-1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs can be substituted for 1/4 cup TVP for a less "meaty" bite)
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons agave nectar (or honey)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 dash garlic powder
1 dash thyme
1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
2 cups unsweetened corn flakes
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning (not powdered if possible)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly grease or line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Whisk milk and lemon juice together until foamy with bubbles.
  • In a medium bowl, mash chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until coarse. You don't want any whole beans left, but don't overly mash them so that they are pureed and resembling refried beans. Alternatively, you can pulse the beans in a food processor 10-15 times and transfer processed chickpeas to the bowl.
  • Add in TVP, crumbs if using, vital wheat gluten, mustard, spices and agave or honey.
  • Add in 1/4 cup water and mix with a spoon. Gluten should form almost instantly. Turn out onto a clean surface and knead for about a minute, getting out any excess bubbles and making sure the gluten strands form. Mold the mixture into ball and set aside.
  • Pour cornflakes into a separate bowl and mash until very crumbly, like thick and slightly bigger bread crumbs and set aside.
  • Re-whisk milk and then pour mixture into a shallow bowl.
  • Break off bouncy ball-sized portions of the gluten and flatten in the palm of your hand to it resembles a nugget shape. Dip into the milk mixture so that it's coated on both side then press into flakes on each side, making sure it's completely coated.
  • Place nugget on a cookie sheet and repeat with all nuggets.
  • Bake nuggets for 10 minutes, flip and bake another 10-15 minutes, until nuggets are firm and crispy.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce if desired(Ranch dressing, ketchup, honey mustard sauce, barbeque sauce, etc.).

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 35m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 pounds total), cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 cups panko
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, add yogurt, and toss until coated. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes (or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 hours).
  • Place panko in a shallow bowl. Using a fork, toss a few chicken pieces at a time in panko to coat; pat to adhere.
  • Pour enough oil in a large straight-sided skillet to reach 1/2 inch up the sides. Heat over medium-high; oil will be ready when a panko crumb sizzles when tossed in. Working in batches, cook chicken, turning halfway through with tongs, until golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per batch.
  • Transfer to a wire-rack-lined baking sheet; season with salt. (Remove and discard any bits of coating in cooking oil with a slotted spoon before cooking remaining batches.)
