Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Grate carrot. 
• Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. 
• Thinly slice pear into wedges.
• Place chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper. Pound with a 
meat mallet or rolling pin until an even thickness, about 1cm-thick. 


Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot. 

Cook the chicken
2

• In a shallow bowl, combine sweet soy seasoning and the plain flour. In  
a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, add  
panko breadcrumbs.
• Coat chicken first in the spice mixture, then the egg and finally in the 
breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to 
coat the base. Cook crumbed chicken in batches, until golden and cooked 
through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. 


TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside. 

Make the golden curry sauce
3

• While the chicken is cooking, in a large bowl, combine carrot, baby spinach, 
pear, shredded cabbage mix, Japanese dressing and a drizzle of olive oil. 
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-high heat. Cook Japanese curry 
paste, the butter, brown sugar and water, stirring, until slightly reduced, 
1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. 

Finish & serve
4

• Slice chicken schnitzel.
• Divide Japanese-style chicken schnitzel and pear slaw between plates.
• Drizzle golden curry sauce over schnitzel to serve. Enjoy!
