Shortcut Weeknight Chicken Katsu Curry

Image
I was forced to come up with a shortcut version Chicken Katsu Curry, as we would go broke if we went to Japanese restaurants as often as we'd like.  This is so quick and perfect for a work night! If you'd like a more authentic katsu curry, click here ! Yield: 4 portions You will need: 1 package of Golden Curry sauce mix 4 breaded chicken cutlets I'd recommend rice or boiled potatoes as a side! All you need to do is bake your chicken while preparing the sauce according to package instructions.  If you've never cooked with Golden Curry suace mix before, all you need to do is add the appropriate amount of water for how much sauce you wish to make in a saucepan, break apart the mix, heat, and stir until sauce thickens.  Done!

Happy New Year!  I present to you the perfect frozen Sunday morning or even Christmas morning treat.  I used this recipe as a guide, but had to make a few mods as I wanted it a bit more 'pumpkiny'.  Also rum is a no-go for me, so I made a really simple classic cinnamon roll glaze to go with it. My modified ingredient list: 2 Tbsp unsalted butter 1/2 cup milk 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 envelope) active dry yeast 1 cup pumpkin puree 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp salt 2 1/2 cups bread flour ---- 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp ground cloves 2 Tbsp unsalted butter Topping: 1/3 cup milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup powdered (icing) sugar Recipe as written by Willow Bird Baking Directions: "Make the pull-apart bread dough : Grease and flour a loaf pan and set aside. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, brown the 2 tablespoons of butter. Let it bubble and foam and when you see it start to brown, stir it so that it browns evenly. When
