Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 Egg
- 3/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup Tonkatsu sauce
- 1 cup Cabbage
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Flatten each chicken breast to about 1/2 inch thickness, season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 2
Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow dish, beat the egg in a second dish, and spread panko breadcrumbs in a third.
- 3
Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip in egg, then coat thoroughly with panko, pressing gently to adhere.
- 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 2 minutes).
- 5
Fry the breaded chicken cutlets for 3‑4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through; transfer to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain.
- 6
While the chicken rests, toss shredded cabbage with a pinch of salt.
- 7
Serve each cutlet with a drizzle of tonkatsu sauce and a side of the seasoned cabbage.
