Tori Katsu is a deliciously crispy and juicy Japanese-style chicken cutlet, perfectly paired with a tangy, dairy-free BBQ sauce. This dish offers a satisfying crunch and a rich flavor that will delight your taste buds.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Gluten-free flour - 3 tablespoons
• Dairy-free breadcrumbs - 1 cup
• Egg - 1, beaten
• Coconut oil - 3 tablespoons (for frying)
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. 1. Start by preparing the chicken breast; pound it to an even thickness of about 1 cm for uniform cooking.
2. 2. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper.
3. 3. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with gluten-free flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with dairy-free breadcrumbs.
4. 4. Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. 5. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
6. 6. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. 7. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the BBQ sauce by combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
8. 8. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
9. 9. Serve the Tori Katsu drizzled with the prepared BBQ sauce.
