SWAP Food Reinvents Plant-Based Meat with Whole Filet Chicken Alternative for Mainstream Appeal

SWAP Food is making waves in Chicago’s food scene by introducing SWAP Chicken, a plant-based whole filet designed to mimic the taste and texture of chicken, attracting both meat lovers and plant-based enthusiasts.

This clean-label innovation, crafted with only eight familiar ingredients and devoid of GMOs, gluten, or cholesterol, allows chefs to seamlessly replace chicken in any recipe without menu changes.

Each 90g filet of SWAP Chicken packs 19 grams of protein, offering a satisfying alternative to traditional poultry while addressing consumer concerns about health, environmental impact, and animal welfare.

SWAP Food’s proprietary ‘Umisation’ technology forms structured plant protein fibers without high heat or pressure, delivering the muscle-like texture that traditional plant-based products often lack.

This unique method also ensures even cooking and adaptability, whether marinated, breaded, or cubed.

“SWAP Chicken is about empowering chefs to recreate classic recipes with plant protein,” says Tristan Maurel, SWAP Food’s CEO and co-founder. “We’ve unlocked the plant-based category for mainstream consumers, bringing superior taste, clean ingredients, and versatility.”

Chicago’s top restaurants, including The Chicago Diner, Soul Veg City, and Duke’s Alehouse, have already incorporated SWAP Chicken into their menus, endorsing its culinary flexibility.

As a Certified B Corp, SWAP Food stands firm in its commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

Founded in France in 2020, SWAP Food has expanded from Europe to Chicago, aiming to make plant-based eating accessible with a product that mirrors chicken in taste, texture, and simplicity of use.
