15 ml oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
3 medium potatoes, diced
2 medium carrots, sliced
830 ml water, or as needed
1 (100g) container curry sauce mix (such as S&B® Golden Curry®)
15 ml ketchup
15 ml Worcestershire sauce
15 ml apricot jam
15 ml soy sauce
5 ml curry powder
4 (140g) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
30g all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
60g panko bread crumbs
120 ml peanut oil for frying, or as needed
Step 1
Prepare the curry sauce: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté onions until caramelized, approximately 8 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots. Pour in water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat and stir in curry sauce mix until dissolved. Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, jam, and soy sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, prepare the chicken cutlets: Flatten chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness using a kitchen mallet. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Place flour on a large plate, beaten egg on a small plate, and bread crumbs on a separate large plate.
Step 5
Coat chicken in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and generously coat with bread crumbs.
Step 6
Heat oil in a large saucepan to 180 degrees C. Carefully fry breaded cutlets until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 75 degrees C.
Step 7
While the chicken is cooking, stir curry powder into the sauce until fully incorporated.
Step 8
Slice chicken into strips and generously spoon curry sauce over the top before serving.
