Delicious Chicken Katsu Curry Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup flour (for dredging)
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup Japanese curry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup rice (cooked, for serving)
  • 1 cup water (for curry sauce)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium carrot (sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt.

    This helps the chicken cook evenly.
  2. Dredge the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

    Press the breadcrumbs firmly to adhere.
  3. Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

    Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when chicken is added.
  4. Make the Curry Sauce

    In a separate pot, sauté the chopped onion and carrot until softened. Add the curry sauce and water, simmering until thickened.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Serve

    Slice the fried chicken and serve over cooked rice, topped with curry sauce.

    Garnish with green onions for extra flavor.
