It seems a little unfair to call this a recipe. It was a spur of the moment meal, made with ingredients I had on hand, and really fast and easy to make. And I try to add avocado to every meal, so this chick’n and veggies stuffed avocado was born. It was really good, good enough to make again, so I guess that is one reason to write it down.
Then again, fast and easy to make, vegetarian (vegan actually), and full of fresh ingredients is what Meatless Monday is all about, right? I’m all about making vegan easy and delicious.
For this dish, I used Gardein Chick’n Scallopini. It is my favorite chicken substitute. I think it has the best flavor, even compared to some of the other Gardein chick’n products. It is also gluten free, which many substitutes are not, so that is another advantage. I always seem to have a hard time finding it lately, but last time I was at Whole Foods not only did they have it, it was on sale. Score! This is not a sponsored post, just my opinion.
You can use your favorite faux chicken product, or you can use seitan, or even skip the fake meat altogether and use extra vegetables (mushrooms make a great choice). The Gardein Chick’n Scallopini has 12 grams of protein, something to remember in your meal planning.

Because this Chick’n and Veggies dish is so quick and easy to make, it’s perfect for a Monday evening. Or any evening after a busy day.
I know you are not all vegetarian, but do you have a favorite meat replacement? What is your favorite Meatless Monday meal?

For just creating the recipe with leftovers, it sounds tasty. I love anything with avocado.

I’m the queen of recipes coming together by throwing things together. And adding avocado to anything is a good idea!

That looks great Debbie! I really don’t seek out vegan replacements. If it happens, it does but many thing don’t actually work with my tummy! 🙂
HOpe you are healing!!!! HUGS!!!
