What is Chicken Katsu
Chicken Katsu is a Japanese dish of fried,
breaded chicken cutlets (or pork) traditionally
serve with rice and curry sauce/chicken katsu
sauce.
Ingredients
For the Chicken Katsu
Chicken breasts. Boneless skinless chicken.
Flour.
Eggs.
Panko breadcrumbs. Japanese breadcrumbs
deliver the crispiest breading. Fresh or
dried regular breadcrumbs can be
substituted if you can’t find Panko bread
crumbs.
Salt and black pepper.
For the rice bowls
Cooked rice. I used Jasmine rice.
Avocado.
Cucumber.
Spring onion/green onion.
Sesame seeds.
Curry mayo: Mayonnaise, curry powder,
sriracha, honey, rice vinegar.
How to make Chicken
Katsu
Slice the chicken breasts in half, creating two
thin cutlets. Season the flour with salt and
pepper and do the same with the breadcrumbs.
Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then dip in
beaten eggs and finally in the breadcrumbs.
Repeat the egg and breadcrumb steps if you
prefer a thicker coating. Heat a quarter cup of
neutral vegetable oil (I used canola oil but
sunflower oil or peanut oil will work well too) in
a large skillet or pan then fry the chicken for 3-
4 minutes per side until golden brown and
cooked through. Remove from the pan and
allow to drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small
bowl then serve the sliced chicken over the
cooked rice with cucumber and avo. Drizzle
over the sauce and garnish with spring
onion/green onion and sesame seeds.
Can I make Katsu chicken
ahead?
The fried chicken is definitely best served
immediately after cooking but leftovers can be
kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up
to 2 days and reheated in a hot oven or air
fryer until crisp.
