Prep the “Chicken”: Toss seitan or tofu in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside while you channel your inner chef.
Sear to Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the pieces and cook each side for 5–6 minutes until golden and crisp.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same pan, melt vegan butter. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant—cue instant happiness.
Add Flavor: Pour in soy sauce, broth, lemon juice, thyme, and parsley. Stir gently until it shimmers like edible gold.
Combine: Return the “thighs” to the skillet. Toss until fully coated in buttery, garlicky magic.
Serve & Slay: Plate, garnish with lemon wedges, and sprinkle fresh parsley. Bask in compliments while pretending it was hard work.
