Method
- Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C).

- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the chicken in the beaten eggs, then press into the panko bread crumbs, making sure the chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate or tray lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat.

Notes
- If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or even crushed cornflakes.
- If you don't have a blender, you can use an immersion blender or skip blending the sauce altogether for a chunkier texture.
- This recipe can be made with tofu or vegetables instead of chicken for a vegan or vegetarian version.

Recipe Tips

- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep the juices from running out.
- If the curry sauce is too thick, add a little more broth or water to thin it out.
- If the curry sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few more minutes to thicken it up.
- Leftover curry sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
