Ingredients

Vegan Chicken and Fillings

  • 4 Gardein Chick’n Scallopini pieces
  • 4 slices Tofurky vegan ham
  • 2 slices Daiya vegan Swiss cheese, cut in half

Coating

  • 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Breading

  • 1 cup Just Egg
  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • Oil spray for baking sheet

Sauce on the side

  • Vegan mayonnaise
  • Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Thaw Chick’n: Thaw the Gardein Chick’n Scallopini in the refrigerator overnight to ensure even cooking.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 370°F (187°C) to get ready for baking the cordon bleu.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Lay one piece of chick’n on a clean surface, top with a slice of vegan ham and a half slice of vegan Swiss cheese, then cover with another piece of chick’n to form a sandwich.
  4. Prepare Coating Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  5. Brush Sandwiches: Brush both sides of each assembled sandwich generously with the mayo-mustard mixture to help the breading adhere.
  6. Dip in Just Egg: Dip each side of the coated sandwiches into the Just Egg, fully covering the surface.
  7. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Roll the dipped sandwiches in Panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated on all sides.
  8. Prepare for Baking: Place the breaded sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, secure with toothpicks if needed, and lightly spray with oil to promote crispiness.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then carefully flip each sandwich and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot with extra vegan mayo and Dijon mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the chick’n is completely thawed before assembling for even cooking.
  • Use toothpicks to keep sandwiches secure during breading and baking if they are prone to falling apart.
  • For a crispier crust, lightly spray oil not only on the baking sheet but also over the top of the sandwiches before baking.
  • Customize the fillings by swapping vegan ham or cheese with your favorite plant-based alternatives.
  • This recipe can be paired with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
