This recipe is from Food Republik. I’ve had katsu before in restaurants and it is delicious. The entire recipe is super simple to bring together and takes a total of about 30 minutes if you’re slow at breading like I am. The sauce has a great flavor and the panko gives the chicken nice crunch. I can see this becoming a standby when I have an exciting new veggie dish to try and want a pretty simple chicken preparation to pair with it.
