Ingredients for Chicken Katsudon
For the chicken:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Oil for frying
For the broth:
2 cups dashi broth (can be substituted with chicken broth)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp sugar
For serving:
4 cups cooked rice
4 eggs, lightly beaten
4 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken Cutlets
Using a sharp knife, butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting them in half horizontally. This will give you thinner and more even pieces of chicken.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Prepare the Broth
In a small saucepan, combine the dashi broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Assemble the Katsudon
In a large skillet or wok, add the cooked rice and pour the broth over it. Bring to a simmer.
Place the chicken cutlets on top of the rice and broth mixture.
Slowly pour the beaten eggs over the chicken and rice, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Cover and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the eggs are cooked and the broth has thickened.
4. Serve and Enjoy!
Using a spatula, carefully transfer the katsudon to individual serving bowls.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
