Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk the 2 cups vital wheat gluten with the 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp chicken seasoning until they're completely combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk the 1 cup tofu, ½ cup water, 1 tbsp no chicken bouillon paste, and 1 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce until the tofu breaks down into small pieces.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and when it forms a ball.
- On a clean flat surface dusted with vital wheat gluten, knead the dough for 1 minute then roll or press into a ½ inch thick circle. The dough will keep shrinking, just continue to press it back. If the dough tears, press it back together.
- Using a sharp paring knife, cut out the chicken cutlets. You can decide on how small or large you want them to be.
- Place a steaming basket in a large pot and fill with water until the water is just below the basket. You don't want water to touch the cutlets. Bring the water to a boil.
- Spray a light coating of oil on the basket to prevent the cutlets from sticking and place the cutlets on the basket. If you need to layer the cutlets, spray a light coating of oil on the bottom layer so they don't stick together.
- Reduce the water to a simmer, cover the pot, and steam for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cutlets from the pot and refrigerate for at least an hour. This will let the seitan develop a better texture.
- TO GRILL THE VEGAN CHIK'N BREASTS

SEITAN LOG 3- CHICK'N VERSION
From the Post Punk Kitchen blog. This is a much milder tasting seitan than Seitan Log or Seitan Log II- it's good if you want to use seitan in a recipe or with a sauce rather than having the seitan be the main flavor point. As with the other logs posted, this seitan is much firmer than the boiled type and more dry. It's good for slicing or crumbling or cut into small peices for a sauce.

SEITAN CHICKEN
It might look like a lot of steps, but this seitan chicken recipe is not hard to put together. Cooking the patties in foil makes for easy cleanup. If you are looking to save even more time, you can skip the dredging step and just fry the patties in oil. It may take a little bit longer to achieve a nice crust on the outside, but the result will still be crispy and golden brown. -Peggy Woodward, Taste of Home Senior Food Editor

Tips:
- Choose the right vital wheat gluten. Not all vital wheat gluten is created equal. Some brands are more processed than others, which can affect the final texture of your seitan log. Look for a brand that is minimally processed and has a light color.
- Use a food processor to grind the vital wheat gluten. This will help to create a fine, even texture for your seitan log. If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a blender, but the results may be less consistent.
- Add the water gradually. Don't add all of the water at once, or your seitan log will be too wet and sticky. Start by adding a small amount of water and then gradually add more until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough thoroughly. The more you knead the dough, the more elastic and chewy your seitan log will be. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rest. After you have kneaded the dough, let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to work with.
- Shape the dough into a log. Once the dough has rested, shape it into a log shape. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to shape the dough.
- Cook the seitan log. You can cook the seitan log in a variety of ways. You can boil it, steam it, or bake it. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
