It's pretty easy to replace chicken since it tastes like nothing on its own. Most of the flavor is in the spice and seasoning so I just use those spices and seasonings on whatever protein I'm cooking it.
A lot vegan stuff online tries to be "healthy" which is why it's associated with being bland but there's lots of stuff like fries and mushroom gravy, apple pies, pancakes, chips, fruit or soy based ice creams, pizza and panzerotti with plant based cheeses (much less oily too), things like chocolate, though some substitutes can be expensive. I don't even notice the change but it was really difficult when I was younger and thought I had to eat only stuff like salads.
the spices and seasons are almost everything; i think that's why the indian and mexican work well because you can get multiple different meals out the same things; especially with lentils; based entirely how you prepare and season it.
with soy, however, i've learned to like it in block tofu form, uncooked (beyond how they made it) and with a one or 2 seasonings. a few drops of soy sauce and tiny jagged chunks of tofu are my favorite (aka soy with soy lol).
