Vegan Chicken with Spinach, Mushrooms and Tomato Recipe

Day 52.



Yay for freezer meals! Thank goodness I had this for today. Migraines are no fun. Don't forget to check out and link up to Meatless (Vegan) Mondays.



Recipe

Adapted from Tilapia with Spinach, Mushrooms and Tomatoes

Ingredients

2 C mushrooms, chopped

2 C tomatoes, chopped

2 C fresh spinach, finely chopped

3/4 C fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

3/4 C fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 lime, juiced

1/2 tsp. lime zest

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

4 "chicken" cutlets



Directions

Combine chopped mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach and set aside.



Mix basil, parsley, garlic, oil, lime juice, lime zest, salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth.

Put one tilapia fillet into a pint size freezer bag and add 1/4 of the herb mixture. Work tilapia around until fully coated.



Add 1/4 of the chopped mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach.



Repeat for each serving.



Freeze. If cooking immediately, allow fish to marinate at least one hour before baking.



Freezing Directions:Allow fish to defrost in refrigerator overnight.

Preheat oven on the ?Broil? setting.

Place the tilapia on a piece of foil and form a foil packet.

Pour remaining contents in the foil packet and then close packet.

Broil tilapia for about 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.



The Results

This is pretty good and survived in spite of the fact that I left it cooking far too long (I had a migraine and completely spaced out). To me, it takes like pesto. I love pesto. So this is a good thing.



What's your favorite meat-replacement dish? I replaced fish here with "chicken"...do you have a chicken recipe you like better with beef, or meatless?
