Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with olive oil cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs until smooth. In another shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each plant-based chicken cutlet into the whisked eggs, letting any excess drip off, then coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all cutlets.
Place the breaded cutlets onto the prepared baking sheet and spray a light, even coating of olive oil cooking spray over the top. This will help them achieve a golden, crispy texture.
Bake the cutlets in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spoon a few tablespoons of marinara sauce onto each cutlet. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Return the cutlets to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish each cutlet with fresh basil leaves before serving. Serve hot with a side of mixed greens or whole wheat spaghetti for a complete meal.
