Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 (2) chicken breasts, flattened to 1.5cm
  • 150 g (1 ⅐ cups) flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 2 (2) eggs beaten
  • 1 (1) package Katsu crumb
  • fresh herbs- parsley, basil and thyme (optional)
  • 175-200 ml (6 floz) vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Wrap the chicken in baking paper and using a rolling pin gently pound out the thick part of the chicken breast until the whole breast is the thickness of about 1.5cm.
  • Get 3 medium bowls
  • In bowl 1 place the flour and some salt and black pepper.
  • In bowl 2 place the eggs and beat them well. Again, season with some salt and pepper.
  • Bowl 3 place the Katsu curry crumb.
  • Take a flattened chicken breast and coat it in the flour. Then place it into the beaten egg and coat both sides. Lastly, coat the chicken in the Katsu crumb.
  • Place the breaded chicken onto a baking tray or plate while you heat some oil in a nonstick frying pan. Heat the oil over medium heat. If the oil is too hot the crumb will burn before the chicken is cooked in the middle.
  • Cook the chicken for about 8 minutes on each side. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 75ºC.
