Chick Magnet “Chicken” Casserole
C
hicks totally dig a guy who cooks for them. This easyto-make and downright impressive-looking dish is a sure
thing, so how about laying off the cheap cologne there, Ace? 1 (16-ounce) package silken tofu, mashed 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 cup celery, diced
1 bag tortilla chips
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 (8-ounce) bags vegan
1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper
chicken strips 1 (10-ounce) block of cheddar-style vegan cheese
Combine the tofu, nutritional yeast, celery, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl, stirring until the mixture is well blended. Add the tomatoes and stir. Set aside. In a lightly greased 2-quart casserole dish, layer one-third of the chips, onehalf of the chicken, one-half of the tomato/tofu mixture, and one-third of the cheese. Repeat the layers, then top with the remaining tortilla chips and cheese. Cover the dish with waxed paper or a lid and nuke for 7 minutes. Uncover and nuke for 4 more minutes, or until heated thoroughly. Makes 6 servings.
