A quick and comforting classic featuring ultra-crispy chicken cutlets, fluffy white rice, and a sweet savory dipping sauce, ready in just 25 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 600 g chicken cutlets, raw
  • 80 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 120 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 300 g uncooked white rice
  • 250 ml neutral cooking oil
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. Cook the white rice according to package instructions and keep warm.
  2. Season the chicken cutlets evenly with salt and black pepper.
  3. Prepare a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.
  4. Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, dip into the eggs, then press firmly into the panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat the neutral cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  7. Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels and let rest briefly.
  8. Slice the chicken into strips.
  9. Mix soy sauce, ketchup, and sugar in a small bowl to make the dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Let the chicken rest briefly after frying to keep it juicy.
  • Maintain steady medium heat for even browning.
  • Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
