Delicious Japanese Katsu Bowls featuring crispy fried chicken, fluffy rice, and rich, tangy tonkatsu sauce.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup tonkatsu sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 cups cooked white rice (or brown rice)
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, then coat in panko.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer fried chicken to an oven-safe tray and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Prepare rice according to package instructions. Slice the katsu into strips once cooked.
  6. To serve, spoon cooked rice into bowls, arrange katsu strips on top, drizzle with tonkatsu sauce, and sprinkle green onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce or garlic before breading. Ensure oil is hot enough before frying for a crispy crust.
