Delicious Chicken Katsu Recipe for a Perfect Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

    Use plastic wrap to avoid mess while pounding.
  2. Set Up Breading Station

    Place flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls.

    Add salt and pepper to the flour for seasoning.
  3. Bread the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast first in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in panko breadcrumbs.

    Press the breadcrumbs firmly for a better crust.
  4. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

    Test oil readiness with a breadcrumb; it should sizzle.
  5. Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place chicken in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
  6. Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels. Slice and serve with dipping sauce.

    Pair with rice and salad for a complete meal.
