Can you substitute tofu for chicken in helper?

You can absolutely substitute tofu for chicken in many Helper dishes!

Here's what to keep in mind:

* Choose a firm or extra-firm tofu: This will hold up better during cooking and won't fall apart.

* Press the tofu: This will remove excess water and help it absorb the flavors of the sauce.

* Cube the tofu: Similar in size to the chicken pieces in the Helper recipe.

* Season the tofu: You'll likely want to add some extra seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs.

* Cook the tofu separately: Before adding it to the Helper, pan-fry or bake it to give it a nice texture and browning.

Here's a general guide for substituting:

* For every 1 cup of chicken, use 1 cup of cubed tofu.

* Start with a small amount of tofu and add more as needed.

* Adjust the cooking time as needed. Tofu cooks faster than chicken, so you may need to shorten the cooking time slightly.

Remember, you can customize the recipe to your liking. Experiment with different sauces, spices, and toppings to find your favorite tofu Helper combination.
