“Chicken” Seitan & Kidney Bean Chilli

This recipe came about after my sister this is her Instagram cooked with some minced chicken style seitan. I’d never done this, so I thought I’d give it a try

Making your own seitan is pretty easy and straight forward, well the way I make it is at least. So if you’d like to make your own chicken style seitan, you can do so with my recipe Chicken Style Seitan

You could eat this hearty chilli with rice, baked potatoes, or have it inside tacos or burritos

  • Next add in the peppers and the garlic, give them another five minutes or so to cookDSC_0534-picsay.JPG
  • Now you can add in the spice mix, stirring it through so it’s evenly distributed through the vegetables

If you make this and have leftovers, I would recommend freezing them. They freeze very well, and make for handy ready meals when you’re low on time, or don’t fancy spending much time cooking
