Ingredients

• 2 cups Vegetarian chicken substitute
• 3 cups Cornbread (crumbled)
• 1 cup Bread crumbs
• 1 cup Celery (chopped)
• 1 cup Onion (chopped)
• 1 can Mushroom soup (cream-style, vegetarian)
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Butter (melted)
• 2 teaspoons Poultry seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped onion and celery and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, bread crumbs, sautéed vegetables, and vegetarian chicken substitute. Stir well to mix.

Step 4

Add the cream-style mushroom soup, vegetable broth, melted butter, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined and the texture is moist but not overly wet.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly and press down gently with the back of a spoon to flatten the surface.

Step 6

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 8

Allow the mock chicken and dressing to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

Step 9

Serve warm as a main course or side dish and enjoy!
