Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 plant-based chicken fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 250 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the plant-based chicken fillets to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms for 5 minutes or until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the vegan butter until melted, then sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture. Stir continuously for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the unsweetened almond milk and vegetable broth, mixing until smooth.
Add the dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, and continue to simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Return the plant-based chicken fillets to the skillet, coating them in the creamy mushroom sauce.
Cover and let simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes to warm through and allow the flavors to meld.
Serve hot and enjoy your Vegan Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce.
