Chicken-Fried Tofu

Submitted by Chef JessicaRHorne

"Chicken-fried doesn’t actually have chicken in it; it’s a cutlet, battered and fried in a skillet like fried chicken, hence the name. A very healthy version and my meat eating husband ate all of his so this is definitely a keeper. Taken from www.chowvegan.com"
