Instructions
Creating Chicken Katsu Curry can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Set Up Breading Station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
3. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in eggs, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
5. Fry the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Make the Curry Sauce: In the same skillet, add chopped onions and carrots. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
7. Add Broth and Spices: Pour in the chicken broth, curry powder, soy sauce, and honey. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
8. Thicken (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a bit of water and add it to the sauce, stirring until it thickens.
9. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips for serving.
10. Assemble the Dish: Serve a generous portion of rice topped with curry sauce and place the sliced chicken on top. Garnish with chopped green onions.
