Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by placing each breast between plastic wrap and gently pounding to about half an inch thick.
  2. Set up a dredging station: one bowl with seasoned flour, another with beaten eggs, and a third with panko breadcrumbs mixed with salt.
  3. Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip into the egg wash, then roll in panko breadcrumbs until fully covered.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Fry the breaded chicken for about 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While frying, mix soy sauce, ketchup, mirin, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl to create the tonkatsu sauce.
  6. Serve the fried chicken over rice and drizzle generously with tonkatsu sauce.
