Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large egg
• 1 cup tonkatsu sauce
• 4 cups cabbage
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces lemon wedges
• 2 stalks green onions

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Place each piece between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

2. 2

   Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Set up a breading station: in one shallow dish, place the flour. In a second dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, add the panko breadcrumbs.

4. 4

   Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.

5. 5

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a breadcrumb; it should sizzle immediately.

6. 6

   Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the hot oil, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

7. 7

   Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8. 8

   While the chicken is resting, finely shred the cabbage and place it in a serving bowl.

9. 9

   Slice the cooked chicken into strips and arrange it over the shredded cabbage.

10. 10

    Serve the chicken katsu with tonkatsu sauce drizzled on top, alongside lemon wedges and chopped green onions for garnish.
