Crisp Panko Chicken Cutlets w/Tonkatsu Sauce image

We just tried this recipe last week from Fine Cooking Magazine. I love the crispness the panko bread crumbs give the chicken and the tonkatsu sauce is a nice tangy sauce that goes great with the chicken.

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
1/4 cup tomato ketchup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, lightly score both sides of the chicken breasts in a checkerboard pattern.
  • Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the breasts and pound until they are about ½ inch thick.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge the chicken in the flour and then dip it in the beaten eggs, shaking to remove excess.
  • Dip each piece in the flour and egg again an then coat the chicken in the panko.
  • In a deep, straight sided sauté pan, heat about ¼ inch vegetable oil over medium high heat until the oil ripples and simmers in the pan and instantly erupts into lots of bubbles when you dip a corner of the chicken breast into it.
  • 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.
  • tonkatsu sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together the Worcestershire, sugar, soy sauce and ketchup.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium low heat.
  • Reduce the heat to gentle simmer and whisk often until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk in mustard and allspice.
  • Cool to room temperature.
  • The sauce will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken didn't come out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was good.

This panko chicken cutlet recipe is a keeper! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the tonkatsu sauce was the perfect complement. I served it with some steamed rice and vegetables, and it was a delicious and satisfying
