Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, and finally press into panko breadcrumbs until well coated on all sides.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and place on a paper-towel-lined plate.
Step 7
In a small saucepan, combine water, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, honey, mustard, and ground ginger. Stir over medium heat until it begins to simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Slice the cooked chicken katsu into strips and serve with the prepared sauce drizzled on top or on the side.
