To make a vegetarian version of this Moroccan Fiesta Chicken recipe, replace the real chicken with a vegetable protein chicken substitute. This “fake” or “vegetarian” chicken has a similar texture and taste to real chicken. To use this “vegetarian” chicken, take it out of the can, cut it in bite-sized pieces and add it to the crockpot with the rest of the ingredients.
