Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegan chicken fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 250 grams, sliced Button mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon, dried Thyme leaves
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 cup, full-fat Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, fresh, chopped Parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegan chicken fillets according to the package instructions. This typically involves cooking them in a skillet until golden brown. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5-6 minutes, or until they release their juices and become golden brown.
Sprinkle the dried thyme over the mushrooms, then pour in the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the coconut milk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Place the cooked vegan chicken fillets back into the skillet, spooning sauce over them. Allow them to heat through in the sauce for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the vegan chicken fillets with a generous portion of mushroom sauce over rice, pasta, or with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
