    Vegan Crispy Chicken Sandwich

    Vegan Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Delicious, crispy and easy to make if you have some frozen vegan chicken at home. Perfect for lunch. 

    I have to be clear that in this recipe, I don't teach you how to make the vegan chicken tender. But I do show you how to dress up your vegan chicken tenders with a yummy apple slaw in a sandwich. The goal is to elevate those vegan chicken tenders. 

    Vegan Crispy Chicken Sandwich

    This is a great meatless meal for lunch or dinner if you're looking for some vegan options. 

    You can use any vegan chicken tenders that you like or have in your fridge. My personal favourite are the ones by Gardein. They look and taste very similar to chicken tenders when I feel like going meatless some days.  You can find them at most Canadian grocers in their healthy frozen aisle.

    What is a vegan chicken sandwich?

    A chicken sandwich would usually contain chicken, some vegetables, a creamy sauce sandwiched between two buns. But a vegan version calls for vegan chicken substitute that is usually made with a soy or tofu based ingredient.

    On a Personal Note

    Hope you all had a great Father's Day weekend!  Celebrating all the amazing dads out there, whether you've raised a kid(s), dog, cat, bird, it all counts because the common denominator is love and care, right? 

    Over the weekend, we celebrated with my father-in-law. We'll be celebrating my dad in a couple of weeks as they just returned from their vacation to Alberta and British Columbia!  My father-in-law is really great.

    He's quiet but always so helpful especially when it comes to our dog Bear.  He's always giving Bear head massages, picking Bear up from our house everyday at 1 pm or sending him to the groomer's monthly. We truly appreciate all his love and care towards Bear, who has seriously become my in-law's grand puppy.
