Description

A popular Japanese dish featuring breaded chicken cutlets served with a flavorful curry sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the chicken:
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • For the curry sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 carrot, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Set aside.
  4. Make the curry sauce: In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and carrot, and cook until softened.
  5. Stir in curry powder and flour, cooking for 1 minute.
  6. Gradually add chicken stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened.
  7. Add honey and soy sauce, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  8. Slice the fried chicken and serve with the curry sauce over rice.

Notes

For a milder curry, use less curry powder. Serve with steamed rice and pickled vegetables for an authentic touch.
