Step 1. Bring Sushi Rice and Water to a boil in a covered saucepan. Reduce to low and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes; turn off the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes.
-
Step 2. Meanwhile, heat half the Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Onion and Carrot and cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 3. Stir in some of the All-Purpose Flour and the Curry Powder. Add Chicken Broth, Soy Sauce and Honey, stirring smooth. Simmer over medium-low heat until the carrots are tender and the sauce coats a spoon, about 12 minutes.
-
Step 4. Meanwhile, mix Panko with the rest of the Vegetable Oil in a shallow dish. Put the rest of the All-Purpose Flour and the Eggs in separate shallow dishes.
-
Step 5. Season Chicken Breast with Salt. Coat each cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then press into the panko on both sides.

Step 6. Air-fry the cutlets in a single layer at 400°F (200°C), turning halfway, until golden and no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Work in batches if needed; keep the first batch warm while the rest cooks.

Step 7. Slice the cutlets and serve over the rice with curry sauce alongside. Fluff the rice before serving and stir a splash of water into the sauce if it has thickened too much.

Good to know
Check the thickest part of each cutlet with a thermometer; chicken is safe at 165°F.
Swap it
Use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free flour and panko for a gluten-free dinner.
Leftovers
Refrigerate the chicken, sauce and rice promptly in shallow containers, then reheat the chicken in the air fryer to restore its crust.
