Chicken Or Pork Katsu Recipe

Prepare the Chicken or Pork

Season the chicken breasts or pork loin with salt and black pepper.

Breading Setup

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

Bread the Meat

Dredge the meat in flour, then dip it in the eggs, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.

Fry the Katsu

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded meat and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Rest and Slice

Remove the katsu from the skillet and let it rest on a paper towel-lined plate. Once slightly cooled, slice into strips.
