What’s In This Plant Based Chicken Sandwich Recipe?
I cook with fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!
- Hamburger Buns– I like using these classic buns. But you can use whole wheat or even gluten free if you need to. The bun is just the vehicle for the delicious sandwich!
- Vegan Chicken Patties – I like these smaller slider patties for a light lunch!
- Vegan Mayonnaise: I like to use this dairy free mayo to keep this recipe plant-based, but you can use whatever mayo that you would normally use in recipes. If you don’t normally like mayo, try my dairy free recipe... it’s creamy but still plant based.
- Dijon Mustard – for a really nice flavor and texture, this Dijon is a favorite in our pantry… I’d stay clear from yellow prepared mustard for this recipe.
- Agave Syrup: I really like using this raw organic agave syrup because it’s a natural and sustainable sweetener, plus it is ridiculously inexpensive online so I always keep a few of these bottles in my pantry.
- Paprika – for a hint of spice and great flavor!
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.
I made a list of my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples that always keep stocked. And you can check out all my favorite pantry staple ingredients in my Amazon shop here. By stocking up on whole ingredients you can cook delicious recipes without a trip to the store!
How Do I Make This Vegetarian Chicken Sandwich Without Meat?
- 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.
- Cook Your Patties according to package directions.
- 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.
- 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!
