Gluten Chicken Fingers

1 1/2 cups gluten (should yield about 20 strips)

2 cups bread crumbs
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
2 tsp. chicken bouillion

1/2 cup butter, melted

Steam gluten for 20 to 30 minutes. Can use chicken broth in place of regular water to steam to help flavor gluten further.

After gluten is steamed and cooled, cut into pieces the size you would like for chicken fingers (about 1/2 by 3 inches)

On shallow plate mix breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and bouillion together. In another shallow bowl or deep plate, melt butter.
Proceed to dip gluten strips in butter and then roll around in bread crumbs. After all gluten strips are coated, bake in a 350* oven for 7 minutes, then turn pieces over and cook for 5 more minutes. You are only cooking the strips to turn the crust to a golden color and warm the chicken gluten strips through.
When finished, serve with your favorite condiments; ranch dressing, bbq sauce or ketchup...

Why would you use chicken broth for a recipe for a chicken substitute? Either eat chicken or leave it out completely.

You can use McKay's Chicken Broth which is vegan. You can also use it for the buillion cubes. One teaspoon=one cube of buillion.
