SEITAN CHICKEN
Store-bought seitan is convenient, but it's easy to make your own! Most of the cooking time is hands-off while you wait for it to steam. Use this seitan chicken anywhere that animal-based chicken would go. Slice it into sandwiches, add it to soups, or put it in your pot pie.Makes 1 pound of seitan

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast flakes, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, onion powder, granulated garlic, salt, and a dash of pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup of water with 1/4 teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon no chicken base. Stir with a fork until it dissolves. (If you'd rather, you can replace the water & bouillon with vegetable broth instead.)
- Create a well in the center of the dry mixture. Add water & bouillon mixture, tamari, and extra virgin olive oil. Combine by stirring. Then once it becomes a dough, start using your hands to knead the dough and combine everything, making sure to get any dry flour from the sides of the bowl. (You don't need to knead the dough a lot. Just enough so that it's uniform with no flour-y spots.) Form the dough into a loaf.The dough should feel moist to the touch. If it seems flour-y or dry at all, add an additional Tablespoon or two of water. Incorporate it with the dough.
- Run a tea towel or cheesecloth under water. Wring it out with your hands until it's just damp. Then loosely wrap the dampened towel or cheesecloth around the loaf like a gift. Make sure it's not too tightly wrapped. You want it to have room to expand as it cooks.
- Put a couple of inches of water into a steamer pot with basket. Bring to a boil. Put the wrapped loaf into the basket. Cover with a lid. Steam for 40 minutes.Be sure to watch that the pot doesn't cook off all of the water. You want enough water that it will keep steaming for the full amount of time, but not so much that the water touches & boils the seitan. Once the water is at a boil, you can lower the heat to medium, and it will keep steaming the whole time. (If you don't see steam pouring out the top, turn it up. If the water looks too low, add more.)
- When the seitan is done, it will be firm and bouncy to the touch. Carefully remove it from the steamer basket, unwrap it from the towel/cheesecloth, and set it aside on a plate to cool slightly. You can use the seitan chicken right away, or put it in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will continue to firm as it cools.

- Using a sharp paring knife, cut out the chicken cutlets. You can decide on how small or large you want them to be.
- Place a steaming basket in a large pot and fill with water until the water is just below the basket. You don't want water to touch the cutlets. Bring the water to a boil.
- Spray a light coating of oil on the basket to prevent the cutlets from sticking and place the cutlets on the basket. If you need to layer the cutlets, spray a light coating of oil on the bottom layer so they don't stick together.

- Remove the cutlets from the pot and refrigerate for at least an hour. This will let the seitan develop a better texture.

SEITAN CHICKEN
It might look like a lot of steps, but this seitan chicken recipe is not hard to put together. Cooking the patties in foil makes for easy cleanup. If you are looking to save even more time, you can skip the dredging step and just fry the patties in oil. It may take a little bit longer to achieve a nice crust on the outside, but the result will still be crispy and golden brown. -Peggy Woodward, Taste of Home Senior Food Editor
