Summer Nanban-Style Chicken
Eat lots of chicken and vegetables to prevent fatigue from the summer heat.
Browning the kabocha squash and chicken well makes it nice and shiny.
The kabocha squash should be sliced around 5mm thick. I used leftover vegetables this time, so I didn't add a lot of vegetables. You could add more vegetables if you want. Reduce the sauce until there is only a little liquid left in the pan. Recipe by Musumedaburu

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cut the chicken on the diagonal into bite-sized pieces and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- 2
Add the oil to the pan and cook the kabocha on both sides. (Microwaving it for 2-3 minutes first will make it cook faster)
- 3
Remove the kabocha squash from the pan for now. Stir fry the bell peppers and onion. (You don't need to clean the pan.)
- 4
When the vegetables are cooked through, remove them from the pan. Pour a fairly large amount of oil into the pan. Coat the chicken pieces with plain flour and cook.
- 5
When the chicken is browned on both sides, cover with the lid and let steam for 2-3 minutes (to make sure the chicken is completely cooked). Turn the heat to low and add the combined flavoring ingredients.
- 6
Return the heat to medium and stir to coat the chicken with the sauce. When the sauce thickens, return the vegetables to the pan.
- 7
Shake the pan to toss everything with the sauce.
- 8
Top with chopped green onions. You could also add a little red chili pepper (with the seeds removed) to the flavoring ingredients.

Chicken with Nanban Sauce Chicken with Nanban Sauce
I added nanban sauce to my favorite chicken!-Once fried, place the chicken into the tray with the vegetables and sauce while still hot. This will allow the sauce to soak into the chicken.-Bring the chicken to room temperature before deep-frying.-Cutting the chicken to an even thickness will prevent uneven frying.-If you cut into the thick section of the chicken, it will cook faster. Be careful not to burn it. Recipe by Cooking S Papa

Any excess will also be wiped off, so this is a really healthy recipe.If you add a little water to the tartar sauce, it should become smoother. Recipe by Mikikoshi -

Nanban Sauce Simmered Chicken Breast Sauté Nanban Sauce Simmered Chicken Breast Sauté
✿ I like cooking with chicken breasts. I first thought of making a nanban with thick sauce, and I figured that I'd get the sauce to thicken up somewhat if I sautéd the chicken with flour on it. I tried it and it came out well. This actually helped get rid of the gaminess as well!!✿ I added honey because I thought that the chicken would harden up if I went overboard with mirin. If you don't have any honey, don't increase the amount of mirin and use sugar as a substitute. You lose a bit of the gloss but overall there's no big difference.✿ Though this will depend on the size of the chicken meat, if you use a lot of flour to coat it, the sauce will thicken too much. However it'll still taste like "Nanban Sauce" so you don't have to worry about it too much (a thick sauce perhaps makes it great for lunch boxes).✿ I used one chicken breast at 220 g.
