Instructions
- Wash the chicken breasts and pat them dry. Then flatten them with a meat masher until they are about a 1cm thick.
- Season the flattened chicken breasts with the garlic + onion powder and add salt & pepper to taste.
- Then prepare your mise-en-place: beat your eggs, add some Panko in a bowl and flour in another one. Then dip your seasoned breasts in flour, then the egg and end with the Panko crumbs.
- When breasts are well coated, shallow fry them in a pan on some medium heat until the chicken is cooked and golden brown. You can keep the chicken breasts warm in the oven or reheat them in a pan.
- In another pan add some the vegetable oil + butter, followed by the chopped shallots, garlic, and ginger paste. Cook this on a low to medium heat for about 5 minutes. Mix well and then add the Masala, turmeric, and flour. Cook this for about 1 minute and gradually add your stock. Keep stirring and then add your cream and soy sauce. Let the sauce simmer on low heat and add sugar, salt & pepper to taste.
- When the sauce is thick and runny, turn off the heat. At this point you can blend it until smooth, but I like texture and kept mine with bits and pieces 😉
- Serve the Chicken Katsu with sushi rice, cut up the chicken breasts and add the sauce over the chicken. I served it with a simple saladTIP: add steamed veggies to your sauce or replace your chicken w/ a vegan/vegetarian substitute.If you make my recipes, please tag me in them and use #thespicedchickpearecipes.
