Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Plant-based chicken strips
- 100 grams Non-dairy yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 grams Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the non-dairy yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the plant-based chicken strips to the bowl and toss them until they're evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill or grilling pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a shallow dish, spread out the panko bread crumbs.
Remove the marinated plant-based chicken strips from the fridge. Roll each strip in the panko bread crumbs to evenly coat them.
Place the breaded chicken strips on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and heated through.
Remove the grilled nuggets from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
