Five Spice Chicken Katsu

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Course: dinner
Cuisine: Asian, Japanese
Keyword: chicken katsu, chinese five spice, katsu, panko
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast approx. 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp Chinese Five Spice Powder amount to taste
  • 1/2 cup Katsu Sauce found at Asian grocery store

Instructions

  • Rinse and pat dry chicken breast. Then, tenderize on both sides before adding salt and pepper.
  • Prepare three separate bowls; in the first bowl, add flour. In the second bowl, whisk your eggs together. In the third bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs and Chinese Five Spice powder (add amount to preference).
  • Dip the chicken breast to coat in each bowl, shaking off the excess ingredients as you go.
  • Heat up your oil on medium to medium high heat in a stainless steel pan (this helps with browning). Once the oil is hot, add your chicken - be careful, as the oil can “jump” when you place your chicken in the pan.
  • Flip chicken when the panko on the underside is golden brown. Once both sides have come to a nice crisp and the chicken is cooked the full way through, remove immediately from oil and let your meat rest before cutting into slices.
  • Top with katsu sauce and serve over rice.
