  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: Serves four

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, sliced
  • 1 potato, diced
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 grated apple
  • Curry roux (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by slicing horizontally and pounding to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up three shallow dishes for dredging: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Coat each piece of chicken in flour, then egg, followed by panko.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 340°F (170°C). Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 6–7 minutes total. Drain on a wire rack.
  4. For the curry sauce, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add carrot and potato; cook until slightly softened.
  5. Pour in chicken stock, water, honey, soy sauce, and grated apple. Simmer until vegetables are tender; add curry roux gradually until dissolved.
  6. Serve sliced chicken katsu over rice with curry sauce poured generously on top.
