Ingredients
- Chicken Katsu Ingredients
4 skinless, boneless 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
- Alternative Ingredients
Substitute for Panko Bread Crumbs: Crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs
Allergy Replacement for Egg: Use a mixture of water and cornstarch for coating
Directions
- Seasoning the Chicken – Generously season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. This ensures every bite is flavorful. (Preparation time: 5 minutes)
- Setting Up for Coating – Set up your coating station by placing flour, beaten egg, and panko crumbs in three separate shallow dishes. This setup facilitates a mess-free and efficient coating process. (Preparation time: 5 minutes)
- Coating the Chicken – First, dredge each chicken breast in flour to cover all sides, shake off excess flour. Next, dip in beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Finally, encrust it with panko crumbs, pressing gently to adhere well. This method promises a crispy exterior once cooked. (Preparation time: 5 minutes)
- Frying the Cutlets – Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, fry the chicken cutlets until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. This step not only achieves the desired color and crunch but also ensures the chicken is cooked through safely. (Cooking time: 10 minutes)
