Directions

Step 1

Slice the button mushrooms and finely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the vegetarian chicken pieces and sauté until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes or until they start to brown and soften.

Step 5

Add the chopped garlic to the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the soy sauce, vegetable broth, and fresh thyme leaves, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Return the vegetarian chicken pieces to the skillet and mix well to coat them with the mushroom sauce.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry, then pour into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
