  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  5. Fry each breaded cutlet for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. While frying, whisk together ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar to make tonkatsu sauce.
  7. Serve katsu over rice or noodles drizzled with tonkatsu sauce.
