Pan-fried parmesan-crusted chicken cutlets finished with roasted tomato basil sauce, melted mozzarella, and torn burrata. The cannabis infusion is folded into a garlic basil olive oil drizzle added just before serving for even distribution and preserved terpene aroma.

A Note on Dosing

This recipe makes 4 servings.

Using 1.5g of 15% THC flower:

~55mg THC total (infused into basil olive oil drizzle)
~13–14mg per serving

Alternative Dosing:
• 1g flower → ~9mg per serving
• 2g flower → ~18mg per serving

The infused oil is distributed evenly across the plated portions.

Terpene Pairing & Strain Suggestion

Limonene enhances tomato brightness and basil freshness.
Caryophyllene complements parmesan and roasted garlic.
Ocimene pairs well with herb-forward sauces and lighter poultry dishes.

Ideal profile: Citrus-herbal aroma with a clean savory finish.
