Homemade Vegan Chicken Nuggets or Bread Patties

This Vegan chicken nuggets recipe makes uses of the Seitan meat texture and chickpea pulp to produce soft and moist similarities. Shape them larger for patties size.

When it comes to eating vegan, one of the hardest parts besides balancing nutrition is the choice of food. Most of the time you will find yourself creating a new recipe or go extra length on achieving various flavors.

A chicken nugget is really one of the easiest, as it involves simply chickpea paste and Seitan meat texture. I used the pulp after chickpea milk extraction for this, however, you can use the one from can just fine. Finely process them and probably go a little lower on the additional water.

This recipe is aimed at crispy frying coated nuggets, but if you want grilled/BBQ patties, add some smoked paprika for extra bold flavor.
