CHICKEN KATSU A QUICK, CRUNCHY COMFORT FOOD
For a hearty meal that can be on the table in 30 minutes or less, katsu — a popular Japanese comfort food of breaded cutlets — fills the bill nicely.
Katsu is commonly made with chicken or pork. This recipe uses boneless chicken breasts, pounding them thin, dredging them in flour, egg and panko, then frying until golden brown for an irresistible crispy crust that protects the juicy meat inside.
Katsu is traditionally paired with crunchy shredded cabbage, steamed rice and a generous drizzle of sweet-savory katsu sauce, a fast and simple recipe that doubles as an all-purpose dip.
