Craving a comforting Japanese dish that combines crispy, juicy chicken with a rich, savory curry sauce? This Chicken Katsu Curry is a restaurant-style favorite that you can make at home — packed with flavor, texture, and bold umami goodness! 🇯🇵🍛
🥢 Ingredients
For the Chicken Katsu:
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Curry Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
🍳 Instructions
🔹 Step 1: Prep the Chicken
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness 🥩. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
🔹 Step 2: Fry Until Crispy
Heat oil in a deep skillet. Fry chicken over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through — about 4–5 minutes per side. Place on paper towels to drain excess oil. 🍗✨
🔹 Step 3: Make the Curry Sauce
In a saucepan, heat oil and sauté onions, garlic, and ginger until soft and fragrant 🧅🧄. Add carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder and flour. Slowly pour in broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add soy sauce, honey, and Worcestershire. Simmer for 15–20 minutes until the sauce thickens and carrots are tender. 🍯🍜
🔹 Step 4: Assemble and Serve
Slice the chicken into strips. Serve over steamed rice 🍚 and ladle the curry sauce on top. Garnish with chopped parsley or pickled ginger if desired. Enjoy hot for a soul-warming meal!
