BOMB.COM CHICK’N SALAD!
Ohhhhh my goodness, guys – I have to admit I have outdone myself this time!! So incredibly simple and delicious – the hardest part is allowing it to cool down before you eat it all!! I know a lot of people use garbanzo beans as the substitute for vegan chicken salads but I felt that jackfruit has the perfect shredded chicken consistency! Why has no one ever thought of this before! Or maybe they have and I’m tooting my own horn – toot toot! Everyone enjoy this recipe – I know this will be a staple at the blkandvegan residence. Oh and Fabio approves!

Ingredients
- Chick’n
1 can jackfruit

1 tsp mustard
1 spring green onion

Directions
- Chick’n Prep
- Begin by draining, washing and shredding your jackfruit, ensuring you take out the seed-like buds and just leaving the shredded jackfruit texture behind.
- Pat dry your jackfruit – COMPLETELY!
- In a medium skillet, add in your olive oil, butter, garlic, thyme and rosemary and cook until fragrant (about five minutes)
- Add in your jackfruit and season with your chicken-less seasoning, salt and pepper and cook for about 8-10 minutes on medium heat adding in your vegetable broth halfway through to ensure that its absorbed by the jackfruit. IMPORTANT – YOU DON’T WANT ANY EXCESS JUICES.
- Place your jackfruit in the fridge for at least one hour – better longer!
- Chick’n Salad
