Switching over to a totally meat-free diet means cutting out staples from Italian cooking like sausages, pepperoni and beef, but with Gardein's mock chicken Marinara Crispy Chick'n Filets, you can feel good about eating cruelty-free, plus you won’t have to miss out on any flavor—or protein.
These imitation chicken filets come with a marinara sauce packet, which is perfect for adding to tacos, sandwiches, salads or pasta. With 22 grams of protein per two Chick'n filets, this is a huge portion of your daily requirements taken care of in a single serving. Plus, the mock chicken is loaded with iron, zinc and B12, which is especially difficult for some vegans and vegetarians to come by. To give its customers that extra assurance about what they’re eating, Gardein's product packages are stamped with labels to indicate that the Chick’n is certified vegan dairy-free and made from non-GMO canola, soy and wheat.
