Panko breaded chicken (Japanese Katsu). This consists of crispy pan fried chicken lightly breaded in panko crumbs. The meat is so tender and moist with simple seasoning, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic salt on the breadcrumbs. This easy panko breaded chicken is inspired by Japanese Katsu Chicken. I served this crispy breaded chicken with homemade TonKatsu sauce, though kids may prefer a barbeque or ketchup style sauce with it.

I’ve never actually cooked with panko before but it’s clearly something I’ve been missing out on. That crumb looks amazing!!
