Chicken Katsu

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 cup oil for frying, or as needed

Steps

1. Assemble all the ingredients.
2. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts on each side.
3. Set out separate shallow dishes for the flour, beaten egg and panko crumbs.
4. Cover the chicken breasts with flour and shake off the surplus. Dip in egg, then press into the panko until both sides are well coated.
5. Bring the oil to heat in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Put the chicken into the hot oil and fry for 3 or 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Lift onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
6. Serve the chicken katsu and enjoy.
