Chicken Katsudon

I have fond memories of a great little Japanese restaurant that I frequented during my high school days. I would often pick up one of their Donburi bowls. For years I thought all Donburi bowls were made with the same ingredients, but since have learned that Donburi is a general term and that there are different types. I searched for a recipe similar to the Katsudon bowl that I loved. I believe this recipe captures it very closely, if not the same. It’s so good and brings back memories of rushing off to work and picking up this dish on the way. We usually cook more chicken tenders than we need for this recipe, so we refrigerate the left overs and reheat the next day for a quick meal, serving with our homemade barbecue sauce. I like the way chicken tenders work in this recipe but you can also make this with chicken thighs or chicken breasts.
