Ingredients
- 4 pieces Plant-based chicken cutlets
- 0.5 cup Vegetarian Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, vegetarian Parmesan cheese, and ranch seasoning mix.
Step 3
In a second shallow dish, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the flour in a third shallow dish.
Step 5
Dredge each plant-based chicken cutlet first in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Next, dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and let any excess drip off.
Step 7
Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat both sides well. Press gently to adhere the crumbs to the cutlet.
Step 8
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Once the oil is hot, add the coated plant-based chicken cutlets. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Step 10
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cutlets are heated through and crispy.
Step 11
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 12
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired before serving.
