Chick’n Kiev

For a quick easy meal, these Chick’n Kievs are really tasty. The plant protein ‘chicken’ is a great ‘meat replacement’ and doesn’t have any artificial chemical taste that I’ve found in some supermarket branded meat replacement products. There’s plenty of roast garlic filling so I didn’t feel short changed. Great to have in the freezer as a standby or food emergency! There are one or two products of the Gro range I wasn’t too keen on but these are delicious.

I didn't really look at the ingredients of these, saw it was a Gro one and knew it was safe. However, having started cooking it, I was greeted with a smell that I recognise and really dislike: Mushroom 🤢 I've never been able to stomach them, even pre-Vegan and I still find it a massive struggle if they are in a dish. I didn't enjoy the first bite, until I got to the Garlic I wasn't sure if I could continue. That helped, but again it was an odd garlic flavour, not the usual moorish flavour (I can happily eat chopped garlic from a pot on its own!). If you're a Shroomer you'd probably like them, I won't be buying again

I’ve tried many vegan chicken kievs now and these just didn’t hit the mark compared to others I’ve had. The chicken was nice in taste and texture however the problem I had with this was the funny aftertaste it had. I’m not sure wether it came from the breadcrumbs or the garlic butter but something was just off-putting. #veganisnotscary

This #kiev smelled really nice in the oven and was easy to cook but I found the actual taste of the ‘meat’ quite artificial, almost like cardboard, and it didn’t look too appetising either. There was plenty of garlic in the middle and I like how it is fully #recyclable and clearly labelled vegan. #meatalternative #gro #coop #veganchicken

Needed a super quick meal and it did the job! Very nice
