Chef Sara Boan’s Un-Chicken and Biscuits

Description

(Soy-free and nut-free options)

Serves 8-10

This rich, aromatic stew is loaded with seitan and vegetables, then served with flaky, tender biscuits for a satisfying and comforting entrée. If you wish to avoid wheat, just substitute the equivalent amount of Beyond Meat’s Chicken’Free Strips for the seitan, according to Chef Sara of Compassionate Cuisine. And, by all means, feel free to substitute other vegetables if you prefer them: sliced mushrooms and/or zucchini would work beautifully here, she points out. For a soy-free option, choose soy-free non-dairy milk, and soy-free vegan butter. For a nut-free option, choose nut-free non-dairy milk.
