Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus 1 tsp
  • ½ (170g) jar Blue Dragon katsu paste
  • 100ml Blue Dragon coconut milk
  • 100g plain flour
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 (120g) box Blue Dragon panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 (250g) pouch microwave jasmine rice
  • 1 side salad, to serve

Method

  • Step 1

    Set a pan over a medium heat, add 1 tsp oil, the katsu paste and stir for 1 min then add the coconut milk and simmer for 3 mins. Set aside.

  • Step 2

    Put the flour, chilli powder, a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper into a shallow bowl and mix.

  • Step 3

    Crack the eggs into a separate shallow bowl and whisk.

  • Step 4

    Tip the panko crumbs into a third shallow bowl.

  • Step 5

    Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthways. Dip 1 piece of chicken into the flour to fully coat then into the egg mixture until covered and finally into the panko breadcrumbs to evenly coat. Repeat with each piece of chicken.

  • Step 6

    Heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil in a heavy-based frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 mins on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

  • Step 7

    Heat the rice to packet instructions and divide between 2 plates. Slice the chicken, pile onto the plates then pour over the sauce and serve with a side salad.
