<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4> Begin by preparing the chicken. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow dishes; one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and another with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat in the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4> Heat a sufficient amount of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4> For the curry sauce, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened. Add the garlic, curry powder, and turmeric; cook for a minute until fragrant. Stir in the flour until the vegetables are well coated, then gradually add the chicken stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4> Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Add the coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, and bay leaf. Let the sauce simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more stock to reach your desired consistency.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4> While the sauce simmers, cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions. Steam the carrots and green beans until tender-crisp.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4> To serve, slice the chicken breasts into strips. Place a serving of rice onto each plate, top with sliced chicken, and generously ladle the curry sauce over. Serve alongside the steamed vegetables.
