Chicken Katsu / Chicken Cutlet

Here is a fool-proof recipe for a Japanese dish that is very easy to do. Also, if you miss Katsudon, this would be the initial ingredient.  This takes about 30-40 minutes to cook.

Ingredients:

4 Chicken Breasts

¾ cup all purpose flour

¾ cup panko breadcrumbs

2 eggs beaten

Directions:

  • Tenderize the chicken meat by pounding
  • Season the chicken breast with salt & pepper
  • Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder into the flour, mix together
  • Place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs on separate dishes
  • First coat the chicken with the flour, then off to the eggs, finally into the panko
  • Rest the coated breast meat for 10 minutes before frying
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat
  • Fry the chicken for 4 minutes per side or until golden brown
  • Serve with Tonkatsu sauce or Japanese mayo

This is best served with cabbage salad drenched with Japanese mayo or the Deep-roasted Sesame dressing. If you want a hearty meal, a side of rice would be perfect! Itadakemasu!
