Ingredients

• 4 pieces Quorn meat-free chicken fillets
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs, beaten
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 200 ml Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined to create a garlic butter mixture.

Step 2

Place the mixture on a piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log. Wrap it tightly and place it in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to carefully create a pocket in each Quorn fillet being cautious not to cut all the way through.

Step 4

Cut the firm garlic butter log into four equal pieces. Insert a piece of the garlic butter inside each pocket of the Quorn fillets and pinch the edges to seal.

Step 5

Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Coat each stuffed Quorn fillet first in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally, coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring an even layer.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the breaded fillets and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.

Step 8

Transfer the fillets to a baking sheet and finish cooking in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 10 minutes to ensure they are heated through.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with your choice of side dish.
