Chicken Katsu

Katsu
Ingredients
1 lb Boneless Chicken Breast
Flour
Egg
Panko
Salt
Garlic Powder & whatever other seasonings you want

Directions
1. Slice the chicken breast in half so it's thin. Season with salt and other seasonings
2. Coat the chicken in flour. Shake off excess flour
3. Dredge the floured chicken in beaten egg
4. Coat the chicken in panko
5. Fry until golden brown.

It's important to place cooked chicken katsu on some sort of rack, and not paper towels so it doesn't sit in its own grease. I like to stash them in the oven (250-350 degrees) so it stays warm.
