Textured vegetable protein can be flavored to taste like beef or chicken. This recipe would be 4 points for the entire recipe for Weight Watchers. I would consider this recipe core. Ingredients:
1 cup textured vegetable protein, granules |
1 cup water |
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder |
1/4 teaspoon splenda sugar substitute |
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/8 teaspoon celery seed |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil (or as needed) |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring water, bouillon, sugar and seasonings to a boil.
2. Add TVP and turn heat off.
3. Let stand for 15 - 20 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
4. Saute soaked, drained TVP in a little oil until lightly browned.
5. The TVP Chicken is now ready to be used in any dish in place of cooked chicken.
6. Refrigerate unused portions. TVP chicken can be frozen.
7. Suggestions: Pot pies, gravies, soups, stews, pita bread sandwiches, a la kings, patties (mix with breadcrumbs), stir-fries, etc.
