Method

Chicken Katsu

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each seasoned chicken breast in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten egg, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the skillet. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the brioche slices if desired. On one slice, spread a layer of tonkatsu sauce. Place a piece of fried chicken katsu on top, add a handful of shredded cabbage, and drizzle with more tonkatsu sauce. Top with another slice of brioche.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, with additional tonkatsu sauce on the side if desired.
