The vegan chicken picatta recipe contains butter, which is (obvioulsy) not vegan.
Thank you for your response to this recipe, obviously we did not edit name of the recipe appropriately, since there is butter in the recipe. I apologize for any inconvenience.
I have a real problem with posting a supposedly healthy recipe that contains 37gms of fat, 13gm of saturated fat and 1500mg sodium!!! This contains the amount of saturated fat and sodium that people with heart disease are recommended to have for ONE DAY. Also, this is not vegan as it contains butter. Also, I do not understand the parentheses after setian – made with . . . . .

let’s not be judgmental, we should just use this dish judiciously, that’s all. It is much better than the original animal protein rich dish. You can control the amount of fat by serving more of pasta and possibly cooked vegetables and less of the fried seitan. Enjoy your food!
This sounds yummy…i miss Chicken Piccata….so I will definitely make this….and I will be using VEGAN butter which to me tastes better any way. Thanks for the recipe!
