This Quorn Summer Casserole recipe is perfect for a Summer lunch or dinner.
It is made from tomato, cucumber and Quorn Meat Free Chicken Pieces cooked in a light creamy sauce. You can serve it with pasta or rice.
I adapted this recipe from a dish my mum makes with turkey.
You can also easily make it vegan by using Vegan Quorn Chicken Style Pieces and some dairy-free cream.
I cook mostly from scratch but there are a few occasions when I enlist the help of meat substitutes for a change from our regular meal pattern. I always keep a few packs of Quorn in my freezer. My kids love it and so do I as it is such a time saver, especially when we are rushing around between after-school activities and homework. This Quorn chilli recipe is a firm family favourite.
I like it as a substitute for meat whether I have to cook a family meal or whether we are having guests with different dietary styles. For carnivores, Quorn tastes and feels like meat and as far as everyone else is concerned it is actually meat-free.

If you like Mediterranean flavours, you might also enjoy my vegan One Pot Spanish Quorn Chicken & Rice recipe. Just like this Quorn Summer Casserole, it makes the perfect midweek fuss-free family dinner or casual entertaining.
