Chicken Katsudon [0000714]

Ingredients:

For the Breaded Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
Cooking oil, for frying
For the Katsudon Sauce:

1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce
1/4 cup dashi broth (can use a gluten-free dashi substitute)
2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For Assembling:

Cooked white rice
1 onion, thinly sliced
2-3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions:

Start by preparing the breaded chicken. Place the chicken breasts between plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

Dredge each chicken breast in the gluten-free all-purpose flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to adhere.

In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the breaded chicken and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Once cooled slightly, slice the chicken into strips.

In the same skillet, remove any excess oil and wipe it clean. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent.

In a bowl, mix together the gluten-free soy sauce, dashi broth, mirin, and granulated sugar to make the katsudon sauce.

Pour the katsudon sauce over the sautéed onions in the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Add the sliced chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce.

Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the chicken and sauce. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook until they are just set.

To serve, place a portion of cooked white rice in a bowl. Carefully slide the chicken and egg mixture over the rice.

Garnish with chopped green onions.
