Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

For the Tonkatsu sauce

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • To make the tonkatsu sauce, place the ketchup, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic powder in a small bowl. Mix to combine.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half and pound to 1/2-inch thickness, so that you have 4 chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on a plate.
  • Place the flour, eggs and panko breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Dredge the chicken first in the flour, covering all sides, and shaking off any excess.
  • Then dip the flour covered chicken in the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off.
  • Finally, place the chicken in the panko breadcrumbs, making sure that the chicken is fully covered. Press the breadcrumbs into the chicken if need be.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if need be. Spray the top of the chicken with additional cooking oil.
  • Air fry at 350°F/180°F for 18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F74°C, flipping and spraying the top of the chicken with more cooking oil halfway through.
  • Slice the chicken and top with tonkatsu sauce. Serve with rice and shredded cabbage, if desired.
