Levantine Chicken Katsu Bowl

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: chicken thighs, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the yellow onion and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the chicken katsu, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the chicken thighs along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with cracked black pepper right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
