Gardein Lightly Seasoned Chick’n Scallopini Review

When chicken is cooked scallopini-style, each breast is pounded into ultra-thin servings before the dish is marinated and seasoning. If you’re looking for a way to enjoy that meaty flavor without the meat, Gardein Lightly Seasoned Chick’n Scallopini might fit the bill nicely. It’s another appealing vegan addition to the Gardein product line.

While a lot of Gardein’s products are baked in the oven, this chik’n is cooked in a pan. After just a couple of minutes and a few flips, your faux chicken breasts should be cooked all the way through. We recommend letting each piece brown a bit before you take it out of the pan; this faux chicken is much better when it has a bit of crispiness to it!

This might look like real chicken if you squint, but it’s probably not going to fool any meat lovers. The same sentiment applies to the taste. It sort of resembles actual chicken — especially when compared to other faux meat products — but it’s not going to be mistaken for the real deal.

Even though this isn’t an exact match for chicken, it is pretty tasty. The blend of spices gives this plenty of flavor, and the texture isn’t rubbery at all. In fact, we’d describe this chick‘n as juicy. We think it’d pair perfectly with a nice side, such as mashed potatoes or some dark leafy greens.

If you’re looking for a healthy meatless chicken substitute, Gardein Lightly Seasoned Chick’n Scallopini just might work. Even though it doesn’t quite mimic chicken, it’s good for what it is. The taste and texture are both pretty appealing, which is enough to earn this dish a spot on your plate.
