Preparation
- Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about ½ inch). Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Coat the Chicken: Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Coat each chicken piece in flour, dip into the egg, and then press into panko to fully coat.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry each piece for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice between bowls, slice the katsu, and place it on top. Drizzle with tonkatsu sauce and Japanese mayo. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions.
- Serve & Enjoy: Dig in while it’s hot and crispy!
