Ingredients

4 servings

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
Chef's tip
Choose an unbreaded plant-based cutlet and cook it according to its package - ignore the recipe's raw-chicken cooking times and temperatures - then use it where the cooked chicken goes.
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
½ cup plain breadcrumbs
½ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
Chef's tip
Choose a vegan parmesan in the form the recipe uses - grated for sprinkling and sauces, a firm wedge for shaving or melting.
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley
¼ tsp sweet paprika

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
2
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness of about 3/4 inch. This ensures the breasts cook evenly.
