Vegan day 330: Soy nuggets

I’m still in search for some semi-healthy soy chicken to use for a dish that I am going to prepare for our annual holiday staff party! The next experiment was with soy nuggets. I simply sautéed the frozen nuggets in a pan with a little extra-virgin coconut oil. I covered it and flipped the nuggets until golden brown. 

Honestly, to my recollection, they taste the same as McDonalds Chicken McNuggets… but without half of the over-the-top disgusting ingredients. I’m not going to get into the chicken McNugget but if I used these soy nuggets and sautéed them lightly in chicken broth NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

Craziness– lol Have you seen the Jamie Oliver youTube on Chicken McNuggets?
