Chicken Katsu

Method

Preparation of Chicken Katsu

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first dish, beat the eggs in the second dish, and add the panko breadcrumbs to the third dish.

  4. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Preparation of Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dry the mixed greens. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber thinly.

  2. 7

    Dress the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 8

    Toss the Salad

    Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients and ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing.
