Instructions
Prepare the Tonkatsu Sauce:

Bread the Chicken:
- Place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's coated evenly.
- Finally, coat the chicken with panko breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to adhere.
Fry the Chicken:
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 170°C (340°F).
- Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Assemble the Sandwich:
- Toast the slices of bread if desired.
- Spread a generous amount of Japanese mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place shredded cabbage or lettuce on two of the bread slices.
- Lay a slice of tomato and cucumber on top of the cabbage.
- Add a fried chicken breast on each of the prepared bread slices.
- Drizzle tonkatsu sauce over the chicken.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread to make sandwiches.
Serve:
- Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve with extra tonkatsu sauce for dipping.
- Optionally, you can serve pickles on the side for added flavor.Enjoy your delicious Chicken Katsu Sandwich!
