Prepare the Chicken

1.

Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

12 oz Chicken breast

Salt

Pepper

1 tsp Garlic powder

2.

Set up dredging: Dip chicken into whisked eggs, then press into panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil.

2 Eggs

1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs

1 tbsp Olive oil spray

1 tsp Olive oil

Cook the Chicken

1.

For the air fryer (best crunch), cook at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway. For the oven, bake at 425°F for 18–20 minutes, flipping once. Chicken should be golden brown and cooked through (165°F).

Make the Curry Sauce

1.

While chicken cooks, heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic, onion, and carrots for 4–5 minutes until softened.

1 tsp Garlic

1/2 cup Onion

2 small Carrots

2.

Sprinkle in flour, curry powder, and garlic powder; stir for 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in chicken broth, then add tomato paste and honey. Simmer 6–8 minutes until thick and glossy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Optional: blend for a smoother sauce.)

1 tbsp Flour

1 1/2 tsp Curry powder

1 tsp Garlic powder

3/4 cup Chicken broth

1 tbsp Tomato paste

1 tbsp Honey

Salt

Pepper
