Instructions
Slice each chicken breast horizontally into 2 thin cutlets. Place between plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and panko. Coat each cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then press firmly into panko on both sides.
Tip: For extra crunch, let the breaded cutlets rest on a wire rack for 5 minutes before frying. The coating sets and stays crispier.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350F (about 1/2 inch deep). Fry cutlets for 3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
Slice katsu into strips. Serve over rice with shredded cabbage, tonkatsu sauce, and lemon wedges.
