You can find vegan “Parmesan” at Whole Foods or ask you local grocer. If you can’t find “Parmesan” another shredded vegan “cheese” will also work.
An easy way to make cleanup simple is to use disposable pans for the eggs, starch and parmesan.
This recipe makes 8 large “Parmesan” Chicken Cutlets. You can slice them and serve them that way or cut each breast in half (if they’re not thick) after cooking.
If you’re not into frying with oil, you can fry the chicken using your air fryer (according to your manufacturers directions).
Asafoetida powder is a powder that is often used as an onion powder substitute. It tastes and smells very similar to onion powder but…not onions. You use much less of it than you would onion powder as it’s super concentrated.
