Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces plant-based chicken cutlets
- 4 pieces brioche hamburger buns
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 small red onion
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup ketchup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the breading station by setting up three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs with the milk to create an egg wash. In the third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Take each plant-based chicken cutlet and dredge it first in the flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg wash, and finally coating it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded cutlets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes to ensure they are heated through.
While the cutlets are baking, prepare the toppings by slicing the tomato and red onion.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a pan or in the oven, if desired.
To assemble the burgers, spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the inside of each bun. Then, layer a lettuce leaf, a baked breaded cutlet, tomato slice, and onion slice on each bottom bun. Place the top bun over the assembled ingredients.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Vegetarian Breaded Chicken Burger!
