Chicken Katsu Delight
Ingredients:
- 500 grams chicken breast fillet
- 1 lime
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Mushroom stock powder (optional)
Coating Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- All-purpose flour, as needed
- Orange bread crumbs, as needed
Dipping Sauces:
- Chili sauce
- Mayonnaise
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Thoroughly wash the chicken breast fillets.
- Squeeze the juice of one lime over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them sit for 15 minutes to absorb the lime flavor.
- Rinse the fillets again to remove any excess lime juice.
-
Season the Chicken:
- Evenly coat the chicken fillets with salt, ground black pepper, and mushroom stock powder (if using). Mix well to ensure all sides are covered.
- Place the seasoned fillets in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld. For optimal flavor, prepare this step the night before and leave the chicken to marinate overnight.

-
Coating the Chicken:
- Beat the egg in a shallow bowl until well mixed.
- Dredge each chicken fillet in the egg, ensuring a thorough coating.
- Next, coat the fillets in all-purpose flour, followed by another dip in the beaten egg.
- Finally, cover the fillets in orange bread crumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
-
Chill the Coated Chicken:
- Place the coated chicken fillets in the refrigerator for a few minutes to set the coating and ensure it sticks during frying.
-
Fry the Chicken:
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Carefully place the chicken fillets into the hot oil.
- Reduce the heat slightly to allow the chicken to cook through without burning the coating. Fry until the exterior is golden brown and crispy, and the interior is fully cooked.
-
Serve:
- Slice the chicken katsu into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve immediately with chili sauce and mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
Enjoy this delicious and crispy Chicken Katsu as a delightful meal that pairs perfectly with a variety of dipping sauces!
