Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap until about half an inch thick.
  2. Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with seasoned flour, another with whisked eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into egg, then coat thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat (about 350°F). Fry each breaded chicken breast for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
  6. Serve crispy chicken katsu over a bed of fluffy rice. Drizzle generously with homemade tonkatsu sauce before plating.
