  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved (optional)
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
  • For sauce: 2 tbsp ketchup, 1 tbsp Worcestershire, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp mirin, 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up breading station: flour, beaten eggs, panko. Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg, coat in panko.
  3. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F internally). Rest 5 minutes.
  4. While chicken rests, whisk sauce ingredients in small saucepan. Simmer 3 minutes. Keep warm.
  5. Assemble bowls: rice, veggies, sliced katsu, sauce drizzle. Top with egg halves and garnish.

Notes

  • For extra crispy katsu, double-dip: coat in panko, mist with water, coat again.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
  • Make ahead: bread chicken and refrigerate up to 24 hours before frying.
