This is a fast and easy recipe to make on a busy night. We especially like the crunch of the Panko bread crumbs. (Panko crumbs can be found in the Asian section of the supermarket.)

Categories     Meat

Time 23m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
3 eggs, lightly beaten with 1/3 cup water
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Using a mallet, gently beat the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. (This prevents the chicken breasts from shrinking and promotes even cooking.).
  • Combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in one bowl. Place the egg and water mixture into another. Put the Panko bread crumbs into a third bowl. Dredge chicken with seasoned flour and pass through egg mixture. Shake off excess egg. For an even crispier crust, dredge with flour again and pass through egg mixture one more time.
  • Now completely cover chicken breasts with Panko crumbs, pressing crumbs down gently if needed.
  • Heat oil in frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook for 4 minutes on each side (or until no longer pink inside) and serve.

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN THIGHS

My wife and I sort of invented this recipe, we think. Chicken should have great flavor and the panko breadcrumbs and olive oil will give it a great crunch! Our kids love it (which is high praise in this house). Hope you enjoy as well!

Time 37m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
kosher salt
black pepper
1/2 cup flour
3 eggs, lightly beaten with
1/3 cup water
2 cups japanese panko breadcrumbs
1/2 head cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce

  • Immediately reduce the heat to medium low and fry the chicken in batches until cooked through and golden on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
  • If the oil seems to cool down to much during frying, increase the heat a little to maintain a steady bubbling action.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels and serve it with abundant shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.

  • Bring to a simmer over medium low heat.

CRISPY CURRIED CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH A LOT OF CABBAGE



Crispy Curried Chicken Cutlets With a Lot of Cabbage image

Eric Kim's ultra-crispy curried chicken cutlets and cabbage slaw come together for a delicious and easy weeknight dinner.

Provided by Eric Kim

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
2 Tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. kosher salt
½ lb. (about 3 cups) green cabbage, cored and as thinly sliced as possible
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 oz. each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 cup panko bread crumbs, plus more as needed
1 ½ tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
4 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the cabbage: In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup water, the vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the cabbage and toss until well coated. Set aside.
  • Make the kkasseu sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
  • Make the chicken cutlets: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap (or in a large resealable plastic bag) and pound them with a rolling pin until they are flat and uniformly ¼-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • On a large plate, stir together the mayonnaise and mustard. On another large plate, stir together the panko, curry powder, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper. Set the chicken on the first plate and smother both sides with the mayo-mustard mixture. Then transfer chicken to the second plate and press down, flipping and pressing down multiple times to ensure even panko stickage on both sides.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over high heat until hot and shimmering. Add one of the chicken cutlets and fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and fry on the second side until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, wipe the skillet out with a paper towel, and repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the second cutlet.
  • To serve, divide the cutlets between two plates and pour the kkasseu sauce over each cutlet. Divide the quick-pickled cabbage between the two plates and add some white rice alongside

Tips:

  • For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Thinner cutlets will cook more evenly and quickly.
  • To make sure the cutlets are evenly coated, first dredge them in flour, then eggs, and finally panko breadcrumbs.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs, but they won't be as crispy.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the cutlets. This will lower the temperature of the oil and make the cutlets soggy.
  • Cook the cutlets over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Serve the cutlets immediately with tonkatsu sauce, rice, and shredded cabbage.

Conclusion:

Crisp panko chicken cutlets with tonkatsu sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is crispy and juicy, and the tonkatsu sauce is tangy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
