A lot of seitan recipes tend to be either too soft or too tough. When I started working on this recipe my mission was clear, to make the ultimate seitan "chicken".
The texture is perfection. It's just the right amount of chewy without being tough. It's tender without being too soft and so moist. And most importantly it's bursting with chicken-like flavor.

Directions
Mix all of the dry "chicken" seitan loaf ingredients in a mixing bowl. Then add the water and oil and mix together. Then kneed with your hands for about a minute and shape into a loaf.
In a pot add the broth ingredients and bring to a boil and cut down to medium heat. Place seitan loaf into the pan with the broth and cook, covered, for 45 minutes. After it's cooked let it cool for 15 minutes.
You can slice it and serve as is or cut into cubes for a "chicken" salad. Use it in any recipe in place of real chicken.
