this one’s pretty simple as it is essentially just a japanese chicken schnitzel (kinda just one big chicken nugget) and pair this with some katsu sauce (which is only four ingredients) and some rice and boom you got yourself with a banger meal.
i linked the recipe i use (and this guy also has a recipe for the katsu sauce on his page) but there are so many recipes for this and whichever one you choose i’m sure it’ll be great.
lmk if you want any other recipes or if you do end up making this!
*also, to save you a google search, if you don’t have panko, you can’t just toast some bread and put it in a blender until it’s the slightly bigger than regular breadcrumbs

10/10 genuinely such a nice meal and very simple.
not sure if the sauce is used is acc katsu sauce but that's what I grew up calling it lol. I hope you enjoy all the same!
i have a rice cooker so i put that on at the start and normally can cook it all in the time it takes to cook!!
ingredients
- chicken breast (i only cook for one so however much you think youll eat, chicken can be saved as leftovers if you make too much!
- egg
- flour
- panko breadcrumbs (theyre the best)
- S&B golden curry mix (comes in a concentrated block)
1. i have a rice cooker so this is the first thing i will do
2. place two cubes (i use 2 for one person) of curry mix into a pot and fill with boiling water until cubes are covered, bring to a boil (stir continuously until cubes are dissolved, a whisk works best for this) then reduce to a simmer and stir every now and again to stop it from forming a skin/burning. the sauce is normally done by the time the rice is
3. prep bits for breading chicken, put a couple of tbs of flour into a zip lock, crack an egg into a tray (pasta bowl works well for this), then put breadcrumbs onto a plate.
4. butterfly your chicken breast so nice and thin than batter down (can be done with a bottle or rolling pin) so nice and thin.
5. then coat the chicken in flour (easy in a ziplock cos you can throw it in and shake it), then into the egg mixture then into the breadcrumbs.
6. grab a pan and fill with a shallow layer of neutral oil (i use vegetable oil) let heat up. once hot place in your chicken and shallow fry till golden on both sides.
7. that should all take about the time for the rice to cook. if chicken is done first, place in baking tray and keep warm in oven. if rice done first leave the lid on and allow to keep warm - same goes for the sauce.
8. plate up however you like. i cut up my chicken and then kinda just throw it in a bowl with the rice and then cover in the sauce.

1 // CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS
in a bowl, add peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, chili oil, squeeze half a lime. taste it and when it seems good add enough water to make it saucy enough to coat the amount of chicken you have (prob like 1/2 cup). separately, dice bell peppers into little squares, dice garlic and also an onion or shallot. in a hot pan with oil, cook up your veg mix for a few mins (decide how crunchy you want the peppers), set aside. add a splash more oil and your ground chicken. once it’s fully cooked and starting to brown, add back in your veg and your sauce mix. taste it at this point and maybe splash some more soy sauce on it. eat straight up with a spoon or use lettuce (green leaf or butter) to make little wraps!
2 // CHICKEN MEATBALLS
in a large bowl, mix ground chicken, 1 egg, 1/2 cup panko or breadcrumbs, a shit ton of grated parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, a glug of olive oil. mix til incorporated. form into balls. in the oven for 25 mins at 400°F.
