Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large, boneless and skinless Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Tonkatsu sauce (gluten-free)
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Set aside on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Slice the chicken into strips and serve hot with gluten-free tonkatsu sauce on the side.
