Serves 1
Place the chicken breasts on a chopping board, cover with cling film, and pound with a rolling pin or a meat tenderiser until they have an even thickness.
Set up three bowls: one with flour, salt and pepper, another with a beaten egg, and the third with breadcrumbs. Coat each chicken breast in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat thoroughly in the breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a pan to 180°C. Fry the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden on the outside and fully cooked through. Place the fried chicken on a wire rack with paper towels underneath.
To prepare the curry sauce, cook the onions until browned, then add water and Katsu curry paste. Simmer for 7 minutes.
Spread the curry sauce on slices of bread, then add shredded cabbage and the fried chicken breasts. Drizzle more curry sauce over the chicken and top with another slice of bread. Trim the crusts, slice the sandwich, and serve.
