Eating vegetarian doesn't have to be a challenge when you have these meatless chicken products on hand. Just as poultry is a go-to dinner staple for families across the country, these faux versions make eating healthy, protein-filled meals that actually taste legit a total cinch. Take a look at our favorite meatless chicken products from grocery stores, then try as many as your supermarket has to offer.
Gardein Vegan Teriyaki Chick'n Strips ($5): For a really quick meal, pick up a bag of these chick'n strips. They come with teriyaki sauce, so all you need to do is add some veggies and a side of rice for a complete meal.
Beyond Meat Vegan Beyond Chicken Strips Grilled ($5): Fill your wraps with Beyond Meat's plant-based chicken. It has as much protein as the real thing, and the taste and texture are pretty spot-on too.
Quorn Vegetarian Naked Chik'n Cutlets ($5): Soy- and gluten-free, Quorn's vegetarian chicken cutlets are made from mycoprotein, a fungi-derived protein. Don't let the fungus aspect scare you — the resulting "meat" is tender, juicy, and tastes pretty darn close to the real thing.
Gardein Vegan Sweet and Tangy Barbecue Wings ($5): If you're in need of a game-day snack, Gardein's got you covered with these tangy barbecue wings.
Trader Joe's Vegan Chicken-less Mandarin Orange Morsels ($3): Skip the take-out and opt for Trader Joe's incredibly addictive mandarin orange chicken-less morsels instead. It will definitely scratch your itch, if you've got a craving for mall food court Chinese food (which we all get sometimes!).
Gardein Vegan Seven Grain Crispy Tenders ($5): Kids and adults will both find themselves craving these crispy chicken tenders that just so happen to be made with whole grains.
Tofurky Vegan Slow Roasted Chick'n Lightly Seasoned ($5): Made from wheat gluten and tofu, this mild vegan chicken substitute can go in just about anything.
Quorn Vegetarian Chicken Strips ($7): Use these strips in place of grilled chicken breast. We love 'em on salads or served as the main protein.
Gardein Vegan Lightly Seasoned Chick'n Scallopini ($5): Any vegan dinner party guest would be excited to dig into a dish of faux chicken scallopine. Serve with a peppery arugula salad and lemon wedges for a light and satisfying nosh.
