Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the batter. In another bowl, combine the ingredients for the parmesan breading.

Step 2

Dip Plant Chicken pieces into the batter, then roll in the breading mixture until well-coated. Repeat this process a second time, dipping the same piece into the batter, then into the breading mixture. Allow any excess ingredients to fall off into each bowl.

Step 3

Place a 10” skillet with 1/2” of cooking oil (about 1 cup) over high heat. Heat until the oil registers 325ºF with an instant-read thermometer.

Step 4

Working in batches, shallow fry coated Plant Chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

Remove fried Plant Chicken to a wire rack set over paper towels to drain.

Step 6

Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, melt vegan butter and garlic, cook until fragrant. Add the veggie broth, lemon juice and pepper. Allow the sauce to cook for about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the sauce over the cooked Plant Chicken, turning to coat. Garnish with lemon slices and finely chopped parsley if desired.
