Recipe of the Week: Vegan Chicken Parmesan Burgers!

Avatar of Marta-H

Posted September 16, 2010 by Marta Holmberg

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a lot of time to spare these days. Between the peta2 live chats, yelling at the TV when Lady Gaga appears on the screen, and practicing my hugging in advance of this year’s Hug a Vegetarian Day, who’s got time to make dinner?!

That’s why I stick with the quick and easy recipes that made peta2 author Marta Holmberg the international celebrity that she is today. Straight from her dorm room manifesto, PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook, I give you the “Chick-Un Parm Sammich.”

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 vegan chicken patty (I like the spicy ones, to give it a little kick)
  • Whole-wheat buns
  • A dollop of marinara sauce (I’m partial to the chunky garden kind, with lots of garlic and onions)
  • Vegan mozzarella cheese, to taste (I always use Daiya brand, you know, because it’s the best)

It’s simple: Just microwave the chicken patty according to the directions on the box. Then, microwave the marinara sauce for about 45 seconds, or until warm. Pile some vegan cheese onto the chicken patty, and pop it back in the microwave for another 45 seconds, or until the cheese is all melted. Slide that bad boy onto a bun, pour on the sauce, and bellissimo!, vegan chicken parmesan from the microwave.

Now, back to my hugging …

 
-Ryan!

    Actually, Erick and Jen, this sandwich is quite affordable! Vegan chicken patties can be found in every grocery store (even Wal-Mart), buns and sauce are super-cheap, and Daiya cheese sells in bulk, so you’ll have lots of leftovers. :)

    I found a store that sell already prepared vegan chicken parmigiana. So I will use that and yes it is expensive.

    I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
