Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vegan chicken substitute (like jackfruit or soy curls)
- 1 cup Buffalo sauce
- 8 ounces Vegan cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Begin by preparing the vegan chicken substitute. If using jackfruit, drain and rinse it, then use your hands to break the pieces up into shreds. If using soy curls, rehydrate them according to package instructions.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded vegan chicken with buffalo sauce, stirring to coat evenly.
In a separate large bowl, mix together the vegan cream cheese, nutritional yeast, vegan mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Fold the buffalo-coated vegan chicken into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, and let it cool for a few minutes. Top with chopped green onions and parsley if desired.
Serve warm with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or your favorite vegan-friendly chips.
