  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cups jasmine or short-grain rice
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until clear, then cook according to package instructions (15-20 minutes).
  2. Set up a breading station: one bowl with seasoned flour, another with beaten eggs, and a third with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, then roll in panko.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. In a bowl, mix ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar to create the tonkatsu sauce.
  6. Slice the cooked chicken over rice, drizzle with tonkatsu sauce, and garnish if desired.

Notes

For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken in the egg and panko breadcrumbs. You can also use a meat mallet to flatten the chicken breasts slightly for even cooking.
