Chicken Katsu Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Breading Stations

    Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the chicken katsu and serve it with tonkatsu sauce drizzled on top and a side of shredded cabbage.
