Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to carefully create a pocket in each Quorn fillet being cautious not to cut all the way through.
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.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
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.
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.
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.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with your choice of side dish.
