Ingredients
  

For the Vegan “Chicken Thighs”
  • 2 cups seitan or extra-firm tofu cut into large chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
For the Marinade
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp fresh dill chopped
For the Feta Mix
  • ½ cup vegan feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
For Serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set it to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with a light brush of olive oil.
  2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, vinegar, and dill until well blended.
  3. Marinate the “Chicken”: Add seitan or tofu, toss until coated, and let it soak for at least 10 minutes (or longer if dramatic).
  4. Bake the Protein: Arrange marinated pieces in the dish. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and bake another 15 until golden and slightly crisp.
  5. Add the Feta Mix: Combine vegan feta, olive oil, and lemon zest. Sprinkle generously over baked “chicken.”
  6. Serve & Slay: Garnish with parsley, and serve with cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives for that full Greek goddess moment.
