      Creamy Cajun chicken Pasta (Vegetarian Chicken), I came up with this recipe in attempt to please my husband who is not keen on fake meats We all loved this dish and I don’t believe he realized that the strips were not real chicken breast The 6 year old licked his plate – literally So if you happened to grab a bag and are wondering what on earth to do with it give this recipe a try I know you will love it!, Very tasty! We sauted the ch’kn until it was nice and caramelized/crispy (my new trick to get meat eaters to eat fake chicken), My husband and I thought this was very tasty We used two 10 oz packets of Gardein chicken fillets cut into bite sized pieces, and added the parmesan to the sauce instead of tossing it in at the end Would be great for meat-eaters or recent converts to vegetarianism who are still struggling to find good ‘meat’ alternatives Thanks!
