Chicken Katsudon is a classic Japanese comfort food combining rich flavors and wholesome ingredients. This dish features tender, breaded chicken cutlets, lightly fried until golden, served over a bowl of fluffy steamed white rice. The chicken is simmered with a savory and slightly sweet mixture of soy sauce, mirin, dashi broth, and sugar, then topped with eggs gently cooked into the broth. Garnished with fresh green onions, it offers a balanced blend of protein, carbohydrates, and umami depth. While its crispy coating provides a delicious texture, it can contribute to higher fat content due to frying. The dish is notable for its moderate protein from chicken and eggs, but the white rice makes it carb-heavy and less fiber-rich. A healthier twist can include substituting brown rice or baking the chicken to reduce oil. Chicken Katsudon is a fulfilling meal that bridges tradition and indulgence.
