Ingredients

For the chicken:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

For the curry:

2 ounces Curry Roux

1 yellow onion, thinly wedge cut

1 large russet potato, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces

1 large carrot, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup grated red apple

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup water

For serving:

2 cups U.S.-grown medium-grain rice, cooked

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with panko breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and rest before slicing.
  2. Make the Curry Sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan and sauté onion until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, carrot, and potato, cooking for 3-4 minutes. Stir in grated apple, honey, soy sauce, chicken broth, and water. Simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables soften. Add curry roux and stir until sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Serve: Serve the rice with curry sauce and sliced chicken katsu on top. Enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier version, add chili paste or cayenne to the curry sauce.

For a vegetarian version, use tofu or tempeh instead of chicken, breaded and fried as you would the chicken.

If you prefer a less greasy option, you can bake the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
