Plant Basics - Plant Based Seasoning, Just Like Chicken, 2 ounce (Pack of 12), Vegan, Gluten Free, Kosher, Non-GMO

This flavor additive is a nice way to flavor food for vegan friendly meals. Like any substitute product, you need to manage your expectations. The goal is obviously to come as close to possible to the real thing, but it's never going to be the real thing! I found this to be a fantastic alternative. Those who are used to heavy seasoned flavors will find this to be a bit bland and want to add things like garlic or paprika and such. Keep in mind that this is somewhat salt heavy when you look at the amount per serving!I used this on egg noodles as an alternative to high sodium ramen noodles and added sauteed chicken and crispy baked veggies and it tasted fantastic. Nothing beats a bowl of original super-bad-for-you ramen (which I will still indulge in every now and then) but this does a really good job of fulfilling that craving in between.I did not have any allergic reactions to consuming this product.

The products taste was outstanding! I purchased it for Thanksgiving to go along with everything else since my grown daughter is a vegetarian. The only problem I experienced with it was the dissolving. I poured the desired amount directly into the pot and stirred and it formed multiple small clumps. It took some coaxing, but I finally got it all dissolved with the back of my spoon. The next time I use it, I’ll pour it into a measuring cup with less water and dilute it, then add it to whatever I’m making. Viola! Problem solved! A little salty yes, but I haven’t found a boullion that wasn’t😉

Great option to make vegan soup this fall and winter!

As a vegan, I've been incorporating Plant Basics - Just Like Chicken Seasoning into my meals, particularly my beloved beans and rice one pot dishes, and I must say, it has been a game-changer. These 2-ounce vegan seasoning packs offer a fantastic flavor boost without overpowering the dish. Sometimes I like to take a break from the liquid vegetable stocks or broth and use these instead. I appreciate that they are not excessively salty, allowing me to control the sodium content of my meals. The flavor profile leans towards the milder side, which works wonderfully for creating a well-balanced taste. What I love most about Plant Basics seasoning is its versatility. I've experimented with combining it with fresh herbs and seasonings like onions, garlic, scallion, and even other dry seasonings like jerk, and the results have been absolutely delicious. If you're seeking a flavorful and adaptable plant-based seasoning, Plant Basics - Just Like Chicken Seasoning is definitely worth a try.

What retailer these days make a product that is not meant to be used entirely when opening, that has no closure? The entire front of the packaging was covered over with a sticker with an expiry date, ridiculous. The flavor is ok, but have had better, especially for the price. Not impressed.

As a vegan, finding a plant-based seasoning that successfully replicates the flavor of chicken can be a delightful discovery. When used in soup dishes, the Plant Basics Just Like Chicken Seasoning does indeed replicate the essence of chicken broth to a certain extent. While it may not perfectly mimic the exact flavor profile of chicken, it adds a savory and familiar taste that enhances the overall depth of the dish. The seasoning brings a comforting and familiar element, allowing vegan soups to achieve a more well-rounded and satisfying flavor profile.The compact 2-ounce size of the pack is suitable for individual use and can last for several meals, depending on personal preference and usage. The seasoning is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes beyond soups, such as sauces, gravies, or even sprinkled over roasted vegetables for added flavor.

I wish this came in a resealable pouch since it's several portions worth of vegetarian bullion. Sometimes I'll add a vegetable bullion to things like beans or rice when I cook them down, so I tried this with some black beans when making taco filling. It dissolved well but was a little bland compared to a more traditional vegetarian bouillon cube; it probably could have used more salt or other spices/herbs. Overall, it's a nice substitute though.

If you're looking for a meat-free chicken flavored doppelganger, I'd highly recommend Plant Basics Just Like Chicken Seasoning. It is surprisingly made of only a handful of simple ingredients (yeast extract, salt, natural flavors, and canola oil), especially compared to other substitutes having a lot of long and complex ingredients that appear more like chemicals than food ingredients. This is perfect for vegetable-based meals where you want a hint of meat-like flavor, but you want to keep it vegan.
