9 Best Vegan Chicken Parmesan Recipes

Chicken parmesan must have been one of my favorite comfort foods before I went vegan.
However,  obviously, as I turned vegan, I had to find other alternatives to satisfy my craving. You would be surprised how many amazing recipes there are, vegan versions of chicken parmesan, that taste just as comforting.

However, as with any recipe, and any traditional recipe, there would need to be some substitutions and different approaches to making the recipe just perfect.
So, before I get to the recipes, let me first share some helpful tips and info!

What Can I Use Instead Of Eggs For Chicken Parm?

So, what do vegans use to bind instead of eggs? If you have ever battered a chicken or made chicken parmesan before at home, you will know that it involves dipping it in egg.
So, instead of eggs, here are some replacements you can use:

  • Melted Vegan Butter
  • Vegan Sauces Like Mayonaise
  • Vegan Yogurt
  • Dairy-free Milk

These are typically the ways I would use to coat my vegan chicken fillets without the use of eggs.

How Do You Keep Chicken Parm From Getting Soggy?

We have all been there, we either made or ate a chicken parm that was not crispy at all, and was soggy.
The secret to always having a crispy chicken parm is to get your oil temperature right before frying.
The oil needs to be hot, so the moment you place the parm it crisps it straight away.

If the temperature is not hot enough, you end up boiling the parm rather than frying it, which results in a soggy parm.

Why Is My Chicken Parmesan Tough?

There are a number of reasons why your chicken parmesan can be tough. The main reason is, you may have overcooked it.
The more you cook it, the more you draw out the moisture, which makes it tough. Make sure you don’t overcook it!
