Vegan Chicken Sandwich Recipe (Plant Based, Vegetarian)

This Vegan Chicken Sandwich recipe is crispy, crunchy, and loaded with a creamy sauce. An easy plant based lunch or dinner!  I piled mine high with lettuce, and you can add your favorite toppings: pickles, tomato, or onion.

This vegetarian chicken sandwich is a great meatless meal for the whole family. Serve with crispy oven baked fries, chips, or vinegar & oil coleslaw for a fantastic feast.

Winner winner (vegan) chicken dinner! This tasty sandwich recipe is meatless, tastes amazing, and comes with a creamy tangy sauce. You can use your favorite plant-based chicken patties for this recipe- see the recipe card below for my favorite brand.

This chicken sandwich totally satisfies, especially with the sweet sauce. It’s made from a natural sweetener, plant based mayo, and a few panty spices to give it a kick. I loaded up the lettuce for a delicious crunch!

Inexpensive and Affordable Plant Based Dinners

I love how inexpensive these vegan chicken sandwiches are to make!  All 4 of these sandwiches cost the same as about 1 fast-food meal.  This recipe uses a lot of ingredients you would have in your dry pantry or cupboards – most of which you probably have on hand. Keeping a well-stocked pantry makes it easy to come up with delicious meals using a few staples you can rotate.

How Do I Make This Vegetarian Chicken Sandwich Without Meat?

  1. Toast Your Buns: lightly toast your buns on a grill, in the toaster, or under the broiler for just 1-2 minutes until they begin to become lightly brown.
  2. Cook Your Patties according to package directions.
  3. Make the Sauce: in a medium bowl, add the plant-based mayo, Dijon mustard, agave nectar, paprika, and chili flakes (for a spicier sandwich, omit for a milder version), and stir well to combine.
  4. Assemble: To your toasted buns, add one patty, a tasty spread of the sauce, and top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, or any of your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
