Easy Oyako Donburi with Chicken Breast and Mentsuyu

Juicy and tender chicken breast made easy with mentsuyu! Add the eggs in two parts for a soft-cooked finish.
The story behind this recipe: I’m not a fan of thigh meat, so I first tried cooking with breast meat to make it delicious! I love mitsuba, but my kids don’t seem to like it (haha). Feel free to use your favorite greens like kaiware!
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pierce the chicken breast with a fork and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then coat with flour.
- 2
Thinly slice the onion. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken on both sides until browned, then remove from the pan.
- 3
In the same pan, add the mentsuyu, mirin, water, and sliced onion. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and simmer.
- 4
When the liquid has reduced, beat the eggs and pour them into the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the eggs are softly set. Garnish with mitsuba if desired, and serve.

Ever since buying a cheap donburi pot at a 100-yen store, we've been preparing this dish this way.Don't beat the eggs too much, just beat it lightly until there is still some trace of the white. The key to a soft-set finish is to pour in the egg in two batches. You could mushrooms too. Adjust the flavoring ingredients to your taste. Recipe by Muuny cookpad.japan -
