Super Easy Chicken Katsu
A Japanese Comfort Food Favorite!
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 Chicken breast, halved cut in the middle, so the fillet is not so think. Around half an inch
- Salt and black pepper to season the chicken
- 1 Tablespoon White flour
- 1 Egg, beaten
- ½ cup Panko
- Vegetable Oil for frying
Instructions
- Start by slicing the chicken breast in half. You don't want too thin slices, so cutting in half is enough.
- Season the chicken with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Coat the chicken in white flour.
- In a big enough bowl (should fit the chicken breasts), add the egg and mix it with a fork so the white and yellow part are mixed. Add one chicken breast at a time, with the help of a fork. Make sure the whole chicken is coated in the egg.
- In a bowl or plate, add the panko flour. Immediately after you place the chicken into the beaten egg mixture, place it into the panko flour plate. Coat it well.
- In a large frying pan on medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. Wait for the oil to be hot. Fry the chicken on each side until golden brown. It should take around 3 minutes per side. If you have a food thermometer, the inside of the chicken should be at 165°F.
- Serve it on top of white rice. It also goes great with Japanese curry (Kare Taisu)
