The deep-fried Chicken Breast coated with panko breadcrumbs is called ‘Chicken-katsu’ in Japanese. Pork version is, of course, the famous and popular ‘Tonkatsu’. They are often served with ‘Tonkatsu Sauce’. If it is not available where you live, try my ‘Sesame Tonkatsu Sauce’ which can be made with commonly available ingredients. It’s YUMMY!!!
