- Place the vegan chicken in the same bowl as the olive oil mixture and coat thoroughly. Place the chicken onto skillet and pour any of the remaining olive oil mixture over the top.
- Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the green beans are tender, but still bright, and the chicken is golden brown around the edges. Place a piece of the roasted chicken on each serving plate and divide the green beans and potatoes equally. Top with the lemon slices and serve hot.

@IrmaDoocker
People become vegetarian for ethical reasons, not only because they prefer vegetables.
Having meat substitutes helps those who miss meat, and feel deprived without it, but don’t want to contribute to animal suffering. You would be wise to support them also, as the transition is harder, and just because their heart is in the right place.
Meat substitutes don’t look like animal parts, anyway, but sometimes they do, and if it helps, why not?
