Vegan Parmigiana With Homemade Chicken Seitan Cutlets Recipe
I had so many requests for a parmigiana recipe, and I really wanted to make something healthy-ish with low/no oil (if you add your own cashew cheese or other homemade cheese to the top, you could easily make this recipe oil-free).
I loved the texture of the chick’n and it didn’t have a strong mock meat flavour or texture.
