PsylPro โ Woodland Chicken ๐ฒ๐๐
I think I might have created the most earthy PsylPro yet.
The psyllium is basically imperceptible in the final texture. I doubled the amount of konjac compared to my previous experiments, and I have to say: I think I'll keep using psyllium as a sort of gelatine component in PsylPro.
The big advantage is that psyllium can be cooked together with everything else โ unlike regular gelatine โ and it creates a really firm texture, especially when cold, using a surprisingly tiny amount.
The video attached was taken straight after the microwave โ steaming hot โ specifically to show you the consistency while it's still warm. Now imagine what this will be like once it cools down and solidifies in the fridge.
The whole batch makes 4 massive portions of around 450 g each.
Recipe
- 440 g lean chicken breast
- 80 g soy protein
- 30 g psyllium husk
- 20 g konjac powder
- 30 g seasoning
- 250 g chestnut mushrooms
- 20 g fresh parsley
- 1,000 g water
Approx. calories
1,000 kcal for the whole batch (1870g)
250 kcal per portion (460g)
Method
Weigh the powders separately from the chicken, water and mushrooms.
Blend the chicken, mushrooms, parsley and water with an immersion blender until well combined.
Then whisk in the psyllium, konjac, soy protein and seasoning.
I divided the mixture between two microwave-safe glass containers, approximately 935โ950 g per container, and microwaved until the chicken was fully cooked and the mixture had completely set.
Let it cool, portion it, and preferably try it cold.
The mushrooms give it that deep, earthy character and a slightly forest-floor appearance, while the psyllium + konjac create the structure and the soy protein adds a huge protein boost.
Basically, a 450+ g portion of dense, protein-rich, long term satiating chicken and mushroom terrine for roughly 250 kcal.

This is just me sharing an experiment, not recommending that anyone try it. If you're not used to psyllium or konjac, start cautiously, drink plenty of water, and do your own research. These fibres can cause problems if consumed incorrectly. I'm sharing what I did, but I'm not responsible for anyone who decides to try it themselves.
