Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 250 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Pork panko (low-carb) - 30 grams
• Mixed salad greens - 100 grams
• Cucumber - 1 medium, sliced
• Radishes - 4, thinly sliced
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Sesame oil - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 1 tablespoon
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Slice the chicken breast into thin cutlets and season with salt and black pepper.
3. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with almond flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with pork panko.
4. Dip each chicken cutlet first into the almond flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with the pork panko, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Place the breaded cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through, flipping halfway.
6. While the chicken is baking, prepare the salad by combining mixed greens, sliced cucumber, radishes, cherry tomatoes, and avocado in a large bowl.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
8. Once the chicken is cooked, let it cool slightly before slicing it into strips.
9. Top the salad with the sliced chicken, drizzle with the sesame dressing, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy your Katsu Salad Bowl!
