Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 oz Japanese Curry Roux
  • 1 yellow onion (wedge cut)
  • 1 large russet potato (peeled and diced into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 large carrot (peeled and diced into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ cup red apple (peeled and grated about 1 large apple)
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and coat with panko.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown on both sides (4-5 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
  3. In the same pan, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add onions, potatoes, and carrots; cook until softened (5-7 minutes). Stir in grated apple, chicken stock, water, and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat; add Japanese curry roux, stirring until dissolved. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
  5. Slice fried chicken katsu into strips and serve over cooked white rice topped with warm curry sauce.
