Cooking Steps
• Grate carrot. Roughly chop baby 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: Older kids can help grate the carrot under adult supervision.
• 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.
• While the chicken is cooking, combine carrot, baby leaves, pear, shredded cabbage mix, Japanese dressing and a drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl. Season. • Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat. Cook katsu paste, the butter, brown sugar and the water, stirring, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Slice Japanese-style chicken schnitzel. • Divide chicken schnitzel and pear slaw between plates. • Drizzle katsu sauce over schnitzel to serve.
