Step 2

Prepare three separate bowls - one with the flour, paprika, garlic salt, salt and pepper, one with the beaten eggs, and another with breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Take the pieces of chicken and coat them in flour first, then in the egg, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs. Place on a baking try lined with parchment paper. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 4

Add all of the sauce ingredients to a wok/frying pan on medium-high heat, and stir until the sauce reduces by a third (2-3 mins)/ Add the chicken back in a toss in the sauce to coat. Cook for 1-2 mins.

Step 5

For the Asian slaw, shred all the veggies and place in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix all of the dressing ingredients together. When ready to serve, add the dressing to the bowl and mix well. Garnish with sesame seeds and chilli flakes.
