Crispy Chicken Katsu Bowls


white bean chicken chili

These crispy chicken katsu bowls are easily one of the most requested meal prep recipes from my clients. It's the perfect savory asian bowl that will become a staple in your household. Once you've made the marinade & the spicy aioli, the rest is quick & easy!


Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients

Marinade/Sauce:

¾ cup coconut aminos

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp honey

1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 tsp sesame seeds


Chicken:

1 lb thin sliced chicken breast (~4-5 pieces)

1 cup breadcrumbs, for dredging

2 tbsp avocado oil, for cooking

2 tbsp sesame oil, for cooking


Bases:

2 cups cooked jasmine rice *I recommend microwaving 2 packs of the frozen jasmine rice from Trader Joe’s

1 ½ cups cucumber, sliced/chopped

1 cup shelled edamame

3-4 green onions, thinly sliced

Sesame seeds, for garnish


Spicy Aioli:

½ cup mayo

¼ cup sriracha

½ tbsp coconut aminos

Juice of ½ lime

½ tsp garlic powder


Instructions

  1. Whisk all marinade ingredients together until well combined. **Half of this will be poured over the chicken to marinade, and the other half will be used for the base of the bowls.

  2. In a medium bowl, pour ~½ of the marinade over the chicken and let sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. 

  3. When ready to cook, add breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl. Coat both sides of the chicken with bread crumbs.

  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then add both the avocado & sesame oil. Make sure there is plenty of oil to allow the breadcrumbs to get crispy and not stick to the pan.

  5. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, and the internal temp is 165°F. 

  6. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. 

  7. Cook jasmine rice according to package directions.

  8. Combine cucumbers, edamame, & green onions in a bowl, and drizzle with a couple tablespoons of the marinade/sauce.

  9. Whisk together all the aioli ingredients until well combined.

  10. Assemble your bowls by adding a scoop of rice, scoop of veggies, sliced chicken, sesame seeds, and with a big drizzle of spicy aioli. If you have remaining marinade/sauce then you can also drizzle that over the bowls too!
