Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1.5 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the TVP and vegetable broth. Let the TVP rehydrate for 5–7 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the seasoning mixture over the rehydrated TVP and stir well, ensuring all the pieces are evenly coated.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned TVP and cook for about 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the TVP is slightly crispy and golden brown.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir for an additional 2–3 minutes. This will help thicken any remaining sauce and make the TVP pieces stick together slightly like chicken bites.
Step 6
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Kat's TVP Chicken pairs well with rice, noodles, or fresh vegetables.
