Chicken Katsu

written by The Recipe Exchange | January 12, 2022

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves – pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
tonkatsu sauce, optional

Directions

To begin, season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.

Put the egg, flour, and panko crumbs into separate shallow dishes.

Coat the chicken breasts in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Dip the chicken breasts into the egg, then press down into the panko crumbs until fully coated on both sides.

In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Set the chicken down into the hot oil, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Serve with a side of tonkatsu sauce, if desired.
