Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs

Katsu Sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Trim meat of any unwanted fat. Lay chicken breasts on countertop between two layers of plastic wrap. Pound out chicken until 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Spread flour into a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, whisk eggs together with milk. In an additional separate shallow dish, spread out panko bread crumbs.
- Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a deep, large skillet. Bring oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While oil is coming to temperature, dredge chicken in flour to coat, then immediately dip into eggs, followed by panko, ensuring all parts of chicken are evenly coated.
- Place breaded chicken into the hot oil and fry 3-4 minutes. Work in batches if needed, based on size of pan. Chicken should not crowd the pan.
- Gently flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 Fahrenheit, and is browned and crisp.
- Remove from oil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin slices and drizzle with katsu sauce.
