- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1/2 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
- 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for spicy mayo)
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two thinner cutlets. Pound lightly for even thickness.
- Season the chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Dredge each cutlet in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Slice the crispy chicken cutlets into strips.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha to make spicy mayo (optional).
- To assemble the bowls, divide cooked rice into serving bowls. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and sliced chicken cutlets.
- Drizzle with soy sauce and spicy mayo. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Can be made with chicken thighs for a juicier option.
- Use an air fryer for a healthier alternative to deep frying.
- Customize toppings with pickled vegetables, cucumber, or a soft-boiled egg.
