Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 cups cooked white rice
- 1/2 cup tonkatsu sauce
- 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare chicken by placing breasts between plastic wrap and gently pounding to half-inch thickness.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, then coat thoroughly with panko.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- While frying, cook the rice according to package instructions.
- Once cooked, let chicken rest on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Slice into strips and serve over rice. Drizzle with tonkatsu sauce and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
