Instructions
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the plant-based chicken strips with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the seasoned chicken strips in the preheated pan for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and heated through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the mustard aioli by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, capers, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Slice the bagels in half and toast them lightly to your preferred level of crispness.
Prepare the vegetables by washing the lettuce, slicing the tomato into rounds, and slicing the red onion into thin rings.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous layer of mustard aioli on the bottom half of each bagel.
Layer with 2 pieces of lettuce, several slices of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and half of the plant-based chicken strips.
Place the top half of the bagel over the filling to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Savory Chicken Bagel Sandwich.
