  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • For the sauce: 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat evenly with Panko bread crumbs.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  3. While chicken cooks, prepare tonkatsu sauce by mixing ketchup, Worcestershire, soy sauce, mustard, and honey in a small bowl.
