Sometimes, my best recipes are a result of the inspiration I take from years of my own recipe development. I’ve been using soy curls as a “chicken” replacement making them the perfect meat alternative for making a vegan marry me chicken in a creamy sun-dried tomato cream sauce.
I serve my marry me “chicken” with pasta, but you can also serve it with potatoes!
