Add Step-by-Step Photos	Keni / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago After leaving Japan a civilian, the one thing my boyfriend missed, perhaps the most, was his addiction to curry at a well known Curry house known as Coco Ichiban's.

Ingredients

4 servings short grain white rice, cooked and kept warm

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups fine breadcrumbs(panko, if possible)

2 eggs, beaten

1 block S&B Golden® curry sauce mix(med/hot)*

12oz sliced fresh mushrooms(variety, if possible)

2 cups shredded Monterey or PepperJack cheese

2 1/2 cups water

2 pieces of bacon, chopped or 1T bacon grease

2T peanut oil

salt, pepper and cayenne

*there are 3 heat variations of S&B...if you're looking for a "level 1 or 2", please try the MILD version of the curry block.

Directions

In large stir fry pan or wok, cook bacon(or just add the bacon grease) until just crispy.

Add mushrooms and saute about 5 minutes.

Add water and entire brick of curry sauce mix to mushrooms.

Let simmer on high to thicken, stirring occasionally while preparing chicken.

Pound chicken breasts out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

In pie plate, combine breadcrumbs with salt, pepper and other desired seasonings(ie garlic or onion powder, cayenne, parsley, etc)

Dredge chicken in egg then in breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

Cook chicken in large skillet with peanut or vegetable oil.

Cook about 5 minute each side, until chicken is cooked through.

To arrange dish, place serving of rice on plate, top with sliced chicken breast, then about 1/2 cup shredded cheese, then top with sauce.

**CoCo's curry is a messy dish of yummy goodness according to those who've tasted the real thing. You can adjust the heat of this recipe by the use of cayenne or the pepperjack cheese, but I don't suggest using any commercial curry powders...they will change the flavor, noticeably. **

Oh, wow, this looks good! I'll give it a try. My kids are finally learning to enjoy Japanese food. We've had two Japanese exchange students and this has been a plus for learning to eat new foods.

Thanks for the recipe!

Hi Keni - Any idea where to find the S&B Golden curry sauce mix? I would want to try "the real thing!" Is S&B the actual name brand?

Sounds and looks good. I love curry - all kinds, red, green, and yellow. Nice one, Keni (and Ben, tehe)

OMG, I live in Okinawa, JP and both my best friend and me are addicted to COCO's. We both get the Chicken Cutlet Curry, level 1. I am going to learn to make this with the help of your reciepe. So, not to spend anymore money there. Thank you so much!

One of the easiest recipes we've come up with. :) Simple, but amazingly accurate. I never would have gotten the breading on the chicken right without your help, though. For anyone else who happens across this recipe and wonders about it's authenticity, I'm the boyfriend in question, and it's just like sitting in CoCo's stuffing your face with level 4 curry at 3 a.m. Try it, and scratch that itch. ;)
