Grilled Vegan “Chicken” Burger + Vegan BBQ Video!

This grilled vegan “chicken” burger is the perfect recipe for a vegan BBQ! It’s super easy to make, tastes like grilled chicken breast, and even your omni friends will love it! 

I’m so happy I finally had the time to write this recipe! It’s too good not to be shared with you all! Even though Summer is almost gone, you still have time to throw an awesome vegan BBQ party and amaze even your omni friends with this delicious grilled vegan chicken burger recipe!

We had so much fun with our friends, Madalina & Nick, relaxing for an entire weekend and eating amazing vegan recipes everyday! I even shot a video showing you how beautiful the scenery is in Romania and what simple, quick and easy vegan barbecue recipes you can make!

We wanted to go to a picnic as well, on the hills, but it was extremely hot that day! So that’s a video for another time! Can’t wait to share some vegan picnic recipes with you! 🙂

Everything (except the burger buns) is cooked from scratch! These grilled vegan chicken burgers and the vegan grilled minced “meat” rolls were the main attraction of our vegan BBQ menu! We served both with a huge salad. The vegan chicken burgers had a side of oven-baked potato wedges and the minced “meat” rolls were served with grilled sweet potatoes.

I’ll post the recipe for the grilled minced “meat” rolls soon. These are called mititei in Romanian and are a staple recipe in my country. I am SO happy I managed to create a recipe that looks and tastes so similar to the real thing. Your meat-eating friends will be confused! 😀

The merit for this awesome grilled vegan chicken burger recipe is not entirely my own! Madalina is the one who had the idea of using Pleurotus mushrooms to mimic the taste and texture of grilled chicken breast. Thanks, Mada! 🙂

Oyster mushrooms are just perfect as a meat substitute! I previously used them in my vegan tripe soup, vegan steak and vegan pulled pork burgers. Their texture is amazing!
